According to 247Sports' composite rankings, Pittman is the No. 14 athlete in the country and No. 207 player overall. With him on board, the Trojans jumped up to ninth in 247Sports' team ranking.
The name should sound familiar. Pittman's father, also named Michael Pittman, played 11 years in the NFL, running for 5,627 yards and 25 touchdowns.
