Local star Donovan Johnson takes unofficial visit to Pitt

Donovan Johnson, an elite recruit out of Moon Area High School in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, spent Wednesday afternoon on an unofficial visit to Pitt, according to Mike Vukovcan of Pittsburgh Sports Now. Also in attendance was his brother, former Pitt star Cam Johnson, and the two met with Panthers coach Jeff Capel and his staff at the Petersen Events Center.

News of Johnson’s visit broke after it was revealed he was denied an additional year of eligibility by the WPIAL on Monday. Academically, Johnson will be a high school senior at the start of the 2019-20 school year, but the issue of eligibility arose over him repeating the eighth grade and playing basketball during that time.
