Pitt has made no secret of its desire to sign Aliquippa defensive back M.J. Devonshire, and on Monday, the Panthers coaching staff got confirmation that its efforts had paid off to a degree. That confirmation came when Devonshire told Brad Everett of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he had trimmed his list of potential schools down to two, and Pitt remains in the running alongside Ohio State.
“As of right now, it’s [between Pitt and Ohio State],” Devonshire told Everett.
The 5’11”, 170-pound cornerback is considered a four-star recruit, according to Rivals, and he drew offers from Indiana, Maryland, Michigan State, Oregon State, Syracuse and West Virginia in addition to Pitt and Ohio State.
