Pitt Class of 2024 Safety Target Commits to Indiana

Jah Jah Boyd decided to follow Curt Cignetti to Indiana in the end.

Boyd — a 5-foot-10, 170-pound three-star safety out of Roman Catholic High in Philadelphia — committed to Indiana Monday afternoon, choosing to reunite with Cignetti in Bloomington, Ind.

Boyd had been committed to JMU since the summer, but with Cignetti leaving for the Indiana job, he re-opened his recruiting process late last month. Pitt jumped into the fold almost immediately afterward, with Pat Narduzzi and Cory Sanders extending an offer on an in-person visit, but it came down to familiarity in the end.

He committed to JMU over offers from Akron, Boston College, Connecticut, JMU, Liberty, Old Dominion, Penn State, Temple, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, and the JMU coaching change opened the door for Indiana and Pitt — going as far as taking an official visit to Pittsburgh over the weekend.

“I like Pitt,” Boyd told PSN. “Think it could be a great situation for me if that’s the way it works out. Play in a great conference, too.”

Boyd’s commitment to Indiana aside, Pitt currently holds commitments from three-star cornerback Nigel Maynard and three-star safety Allen Bryant in the class of 2024. Maynard and Bryant have been committed since the summer and both are expected to sign their National Letters of Intent Wednesday morning.

Pitt has also picked up a commitment from former Nebraska cornerback Tamon Lynum this month, and it appears that the coaching staff is looking to potentially add another to a room that will be without M.J. Devonshire, Marquis Williams and A.J. Woods next season.

With National Signing Day just a couple of days away now, the class of 2024 is in the end stages of the recruiting process now.
