Pitt Lands Commitment from Iowa State’s Nojus Indrusaitis

Indrusaitis is a 6-foot-5 freshman wing who is leaving Iowa State. Indrusaitis averaged just 2.1 points per game in his rookie season, playing a minimal role for the Cyclones. However, he was a highly-touted recruit just one season ago.

Indrusaitis, who spent his high-school years in the Chicago area, was ranked as the No. 96 player and a four-star prospect in the class of 2024 before going to Iowa State. He played for Meanstreets EYBL and also competed for Saint Rita High School in Chicago before going to Brewster Academy.

Indrusaitis is the first known visitor of the spring for Pitt, who is looking to fill practically an entire rotation. The Panthers lost Jaland Lowe to the transfer portal recently, and have also lost Amsal Delalic, both Diaz Graham twins, and Marlon Barnes Jr. so far.

Pitt also landed a commitment recently from Indrusaitis’ teammate, Dishon Jackson.

Jackson is a 6-11, 275-pound senior center, who this past season averaged 8.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in 18.7 minutes of action. The year prior, he averaged 11.4 points and 6.1 rebounds. His best two performances last year were a 17-point, 4 rebound game against Kansas and a 14-point, 5-rebound effort against TCU.

Jackson ranks No. 91 on On3’s transfer portal rankings out of 800+ transfers listed. On our rankings at The Portal Report — out of all 1,800+ transfers from D1 — Jackson ranks as the No. 223 prospect in the portal. He is the No. 72 overall player in our rankings of forwards and centers in the portal. He ranks highest in our Rebounding (98th overall) and Finishing metrics.
