Another active day of recruiting as well as extending more offers on Wednesday for the Pitt football coaching staff.

On Monday and Tuesday, the focus of the staff appeared to be on the large recruiting territory of Texas. That changed a bit yesterday as a lot of news came from Florida.

Here’s a recap of what we tracked down, including offers as well as visits that the Pitt coaches made to certain 2026 recruits.
