Pat Narduzzi hosted a wide range of recruits on Saturday from high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors and even a graduate transfer.
It appears as though Pitt is open to adding some experience on the offensive line, because they hosted Stanford graduate transfer offensive tackle Devery Hamilton. Last season, he said the first four games for Stanford before suffering a season-ending injury and is the 11th player to leave the Cardinal program following the season.

Hamilton is a former 4-star recruit from Baltimore, Maryland and held offers from schools like Michigan, Clemson, LSU, Michigan State, Penn State, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Virginia Tech before committing to Stanford.
Although he has shown versatility in terms of playing different positions, Hamilton would likely play left tackle at whatever school he selects. Last season, freshman Carter Warren started all season at left tackle for Pitt but Hamilton would provide Pitt with another solid option.
Hamilton is immediately eligible and has one year left of athletic eligibility.

Never enough talented OL.
He would be a great addition, maybe move warren to the right side
Never seen him play but if he has a pulse he’s an immediate upgrade.
Lord knows they need it…just hope he’s better than Ulizo if he comes aboard.
Hamilton was a Michigan commit who flipped to Stanford late in the recruiting cycle. I lived in Michigan at the time and the Wiolverines weren’t happy about losing him. Assuming he’s healthy, I think Hamilton will make a Stefano Millin-like impact (if he ends up at Pitt).
Hamilton would be a nice addition to that offensive line. I hope the Pitt staff is also in serious contact with Connor Heyward. That would address the serious need for help at running back. A guy with some size in the running game with the added ability to catch passes. I hope they’re talking to him as well.
