Hampton offensive lineman Keldrick Wilson has committed to Pitt as a graduate transfer for the 2020 season.
A 6-foot-5, 299-pound tackle from Mt. Ulla, North Carolina, chose Pitt over fellow finalists Indiana, USC and West Virginia. He will have one season of eligibility remaining with the Panthers.
Wilson played in 11 games for the Pirates in the 2019 season in the most extensive action of his career. He played in 10 games in 2017 and redshirted in 2016 and again in 2018.
Hampton, a historically black university in Hampton, Virginia, finished 5-7 and was 1-5 in the FCS Big South conference in 2019.
Wilson will join a Pitt offensive line that loses just one starter from 2019: right tackle Nolan Ulizio. He should immediately be expected to join the mix competing for the open spot along with Gabe Houy, Carson Van Lynn and converted tight end Grant Carrigan.
With the addition of Wilson, Pitt has now reached the 85-man scholarship limit for the 2020 season.
Ho hum
No disrespect to the parade of grad transfer linemen but at some point shouldn’t Borbley (sp?) be able to develop a recruit or two?
