If Pitt landed Terhyon Nichols’ services, he would be one of the top recruits in the class of 2024. Nichols would also become the fourth defensive back to join the class, along with fellow Cincinnati High School star Tayshawn Banks, Allen Bryant from Florida and Davion Pritchard from Youngstown, Ohio. Three-star athlete Nigel Maynard from Tennessee is also likely to play for Pitt as a defensive back, making it a potential five defensive backs in this class.
