With less than a week until February National Signing Day, the situation with Timothy Brown and Pitt has been resolved.
Brown announced on Twitter that his recruitment has re-opened Friday night. Pittsburgh Sports Now has learned that Pitt decided to part ways with Brown after his legal situation became too tenuous to overcome.
Brown, a three-star prospect in the Class of 2020, had been committed to Pitt since June, but did not sign during the December signing period.
On Oct. 28, Brown was arrested and charged with robbery, felony battery, and kidnapping during a felony. He was and placed on house arrest. The police report says that Brown, 18, and three other teens jumped a man outside of a Walmart, Brown then reportedly pointed a gun in his face before he and three others threw him out of a moving SUV.
Following the news he received from Pitt, Brown released a statement on Twitter saying “I would like to thank the University of Pittsburgh football staff for everything with that being said my recruitment is 1000% open.”
Brown was Pitt’s second commitment back in June but was never able to sign his letter of intent because of the arrest.
The 3-star recruit was Pitt’s only defensive tackle in their Class of 2020 and it appears as though they’ll go this recruiting cycle without adding one.
Good move. He is a trash individual that really should be in jail. Assuming the charges are proven. Anyone that does to another is a coward.
Guilty until proven innocent, huh?
Read my comment above. I said assuming the charges are correct. Maybe if that was your mom or dad they beat up and threw out of a moving vehicle you might think differently. Nothing like defending a criminal because he plays football. Wake up
” Assuming the charges are proven” lol you funny
“He is a trash individual that really should be in jail” maybe your trash, right? until proven innocent
Screw you Vic! When you commit a violent crime against another person that is innocent that is not defensible. He is on house arrest awaiting trial. The reason they are doing that is because his attorney already knows he will be found guilty and that will count as time served and punishment. Wake up you moron and once again read my comment. I said if the charges were proven in court.
Beef O’Brady do you get off your high horse when you come home from work or are you on it all day?
Local troll. I have never beaten a person. Stuck a gun in their face and launched them out of a car. Sorry to break it to you, but that has nothing to do with a high horse. That is a brutal assault. If you are condoning that because he is a great pass rusher then you need your head examined, too.
Beef O’Brady that’s why Pitt will never turn the corner. Cuz fans like you. All the top programs look the other way.
PSU harbored a sexual predator for the better part of two decades. Wake up!
I have season tickets to both football and basketball. 138 in football and 111 in hoops. I donate money per seat, to the athletic scholarship fund and my son goes to school there so do not tell me it is fans like me. No one should turn their heads. Behavior like that is unacceptable period. The fact that people turn their heads to it does not make it okay. They are just sordid people with the almighty dollar in mind. Narduzzi and the school did the right thing.
Beef O’Brady is a 1%er. When Bernie is president he is going to redistribute your wealth.

Eat a penis local troll. You are good at guzzling what comes out of it
Beef enough with the lewd comments even though they are deserved. Local troll and Vic’s bean are obviously morally bankrupt and their minds decayed by apathy and that is why their posts are so poor. The kid did something allegedly very serious. Bad enough where he is on electronic monitoring. The Pitt staff has a moral compass and did the right thing
Local troll you can see by reading these comments you are a mindless idiot. The guy is making relevant points and you can not give a educated retort. Stop while you are ahead. Beef owned you in that debate.
To all the boomers who are upset. I do not think you know how the internet works. My name is local_troll
We also know that your brain is fractured, you suffer from ED and need shot by a firing squad.
