Pitt Officially Signs 11 Transfer Portal Commitments

It’s the first day of the spring term for the University of Pittsburgh, and it’s arrived with 11 transfer portal signees for the Pitt Panthers.

Pat Narduzzi announced that the 11 Pitt portal commits have officially signed with the program. Now, that doesn’t mean there can’t and won’t be other signings, but these are the 11 that have made it official and will be in town for the spring season.

Pitt secured a handful of commitments before the turn of the year, but a very busy weekend led to eight recruits signing fresh off official visits.

There are a couple of offensive linemen, a couple of wide receivers, some defensive ends, some defensive backs and even a new kicker.
