**I was abit surprised to see this news. New York 2018 quarterback Matt Valecce gave a verbal commitment to Boston College. I talked with Valecce a few days ago and he told me that he wanted to have coaches evaluate him thru May. I thought he was a dark horse to commit to Pitt.

Committed. I am a Boston College Eagle! 🦅 pic.twitter.com/jcU5Klsf7w

**Late last night, We found out that the Pitt football staff offered another player that’s already verbally committed to a school.

Williams (6-foot-2, 180 pounds) is a 247 Sports 3-star recruit with other offers from Rutgers, Boston College and Temple. Coach Salem made the offer to Williams.
