Pitt target Nikhai Hill-Green, a linebacker out of St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, released a list of the top five schools under consideration in the late stages of his recruitment on Friday night, and Pitt was included along with four Big Ten programs.
The other four schools under consideration are Indiana, Michigan, Purdue and Wisconsin. Hill-Green previously played at North Catholic and was considered a top player in the WPIAL before transferring to St. Frances in February. Upon moving to Baltimore, he also became a teammate of recent Pitt commit Michael Statham, a 6'7", 340-pound offensive lineman.
The 6’2”, 205-pound linebacker holds four-star ratings from ESPN and 247Sports, and both sites consider him among the top 25 recruits at his position in the 2020 class.
