Pitt received some good this afternoon as David Green pledged to the program. Green is a 6’2’ 265 pound defensive tackle from Pittsburgh, and plays for state power, Pittsburgh Central Catholic. He is graded as three-star by Rivals and ESPN. He chose Pitt over additional offers from Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Minnesota, among others.
Green is a unique talent, and adds some athleticism to the interior defensive line. He checks in at 265 pounds and will likely need to bulk up for college, but if you watch his highlight tape you will see that Central Catholic uses him as a fullback, and he proves to be an effective runner for the Vikings.
