Twitter Reaction to Pitt Landing Talented RB Malik Newton

Commitment No. 13 is in for Pitt as the Panthers received a commitment from Virginia running back Malik Newton.

Newton is a three-star back but holds a list of offers reminiscent of a four-star player. The addition of Newton along with the previous commitment of Rodney Hammond means Pitt is done recruiting running backs.

This news from Newton is causing plenty of reaction on Twitter.

Pitt got a good one today! Wow. Stability is paying off for Pitt. The future is bright!!!

I’ve seen Rodney , Malik and Myles play since like 5th grade… they’ve always been well beyond their years as young men and as talented athletes …It looks like I’ll be at some Pitt games over the next few years…. I love it ✊🏽 #Pitt2L1TT
