Pitt 2024 4-Star DE Target Mylachi Williams Sets Finalists, Announcing Decision This Week

Mylachi Williams previously announced when he’d be committing, but we didn’t know for sure which schools he was deciding between. Now we do.

Williams — a 6-foot-5, 215-pound four-star defensive end from Monsignor Bonner in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania — will decide between Notre Dame, Penn State, Pitt, Syracuse and Texas A&M on July 8.

He made official visits to Penn State, Syracuse and Pitt in the month of June, and he held offers from the likes of Boston College, Cincinnati, Colorado, Duke, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC, Vanderbilt and West Virginia.

Williams’ relationship with Pitt really began back on Jan. 20 when the Pitt coaching staff extended him an offer, and obviously, the communication — and a Jan. 21 visit — has led to a chance for an extended stay in Pittsburgh.

It’s not hard to see why Charlie Partridge and Pitt’s coaching staff like Williams either, as he’s a long, explosive athlete who may be bookmarked for defensive end but could play almost anywhere across the football field.

As a junior at Monsignor Bonner last season, Williams racked up 50 tackles, 25 tackles for loss and 11 sacks to help the Friars to a successful season out on the eastern side of the state.

247Sports rates Williams as the 330th-ranked recruit in the class (25th-ranked edge rusher and seventh-ranked recruit from Pennsylvania) while On3 rates him as the 205th-ranked recruit in the class (16th-ranked edge and third-ranked recruit from Pennsylvania).

Rivals rates him as the 17th-ranked weakside defensive end and ninth-ranked recruit from Pennsylvania — holding a 5.8 Rivals Rating.

While he’s made visits to Penn State, Pitt and Syracuse, it appears as though Penn State is in the lead for Williams’ services. Pitt does, however, have a chance in the race, but the coaching staff’s recruiting efforts may also be focused elsewhere.
