2021 3-Star DB Javon McIntyre One of Many Imhotep Charter Stars to Visit Pitt this Weekend

Javon McIntrye/2021 3-Star Safety, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Offers from Maryland, Michigan State, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers.
Sunday, Pittsburgh Sports Now caught up with McIntyre to get his thoughts on his first visit to the city of Pittsburgh.
McIntyre (6-foot-1, 180) is a versatile defensive back that’s able to play cornerback and both safety positions. Currently, he holds offers from Pitt, Boston College, Maryland, Michigan State, Penn State, Rutgers, Tennessee, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
”We were supposed to visit for the Miami game but weren’t able to,” said McIntrye. “So we really made a point to find a time to get down there because we all really wanted to see Pitt.
”The football facilities really impressed me. Plus, the fact that they split the facilities with the Pittsburgh Steelers and practice on the same field. Also, the fans at the basketball game and how much they love Pitt. The student section was great and it was cool to see the love. They loved the current and former players.”
Cory Sanders is the chief recruiter for Pitt in the Philadelphia area and took the time yesterday to have a good conversation with McIntrye.
”They like my tape and can see me at cornerback and safety. They believe I can play right away and could even come in and start. They tell me that after Damar Hamlin and Paris Ford leave, they’re going to need safeties so I could come in and start,” said McIntrye.
”Playing time is very important to me. I don’t want to redshirt my freshman year, I want to play early. Another thing I like is that they tell me they have a good physical therapy school and that’s what I want to major in.”

When I asked him to describe his strengths, McIntrye said that he can cover like a cornerback, hit like a safety, come up in the box and hit and his versatility is important.
Aside from Pitt, McIntrye is hearing the most from Iowa State, West Virginia, Penn State, Michigan State, Maryland and Virginia Tech.
