**Pitt and Purdue have been going for a lot of the same players this recruiting period and so far, Purdue has had Pitt’s number. Last night, the Boilermakers got a commitment from a wideout that the Panthers have been recruiting over the last month. Three-star wide receiver TJ Sheffield from Thompsons Station, Tennessee gave a commitment to Purdue. Sheffield is a rising prospect with offers from Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Stanford, Penn State, Ohio State, Georgia and Arkansas.
Other players that Pitt was interested that have committed to Jeff Brohm are Ohio defensive end Dontay Hunter (although his offer might not have been committable), Michigan safety Marvin Grant, Ohio wide receiver Mershawn Rice, Ohio cornerback Nyles Beverly and Virginia tight end Kyle Bilodeau.
