Pitt QB Commit Earns Exclusive All-State Honor

Pitt quarterback commit Angelo Renda

There are very few quarterbacks who are able to boast the numbers that Angelo Renda produced as a junior at Southlake Carroll, so it’s not a surprise that he’s earned an exclusive honor.

Renda — a 6-foot, 180-pound three-star quarterback from Southlake, Tx. — earned first-team All-State honors from the Padilla Poll. He committed to Pitt last month, kicking off the class of 2026 with a bang.

Renda was dominant as a junior, leading Southlake Carroll to a 15-1 record against some of the best competition in the country. He completed 257-of-360 pass attempts for 3,901 yards with 40 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, adding 667 yards (7.0 yards per carry) and 14 touchdowns on the ground.

The only thing that evaded Renda as a junior was a state title — something he’s determined to rectify as a senior. Southlake Carroll went unbeaten in the regular season, advancing to the Texas Class-6A Division II championship game. The Dragons fell, 24-17, in heartbreaking fashion. He’s determined to get back, win and then keep winning at Pitt.

“(Pitt fans) got a winner,” Renda said. “I’m here to win, I’m here to stay and I’m here to bring some guys with me. So, I got to get this 2026 recruiting class rolling. We’re working on it right now, but it’s going to be fun. I’m excited for the journey and can’t wait to be a Panther.”

Renda is the first commitment in the class, and while he wouldn’t have cared if he was the second or third, or whatever, he likes being the first. There aren’t a whole lot of recruits who can say they were the first — he can. And he can make an impact as perhaps the most important recruit in the class.

He’s excited to lead the way. As the first commitment, and the de-facto leader of the class, he’s already started reaching out to potential teammates. His teammate and TCU wide receiver commit Brock Boyd received an offer this week. Renda retweeted Michigan commit and four-star wide receiver Jaylen Pile announcing his Pitt offer Thursday night. There’s a lot of work to be done.
