Pitt landed a promising inside linebacker from the Sunshine State on Thursday, as Derrveron Maxwell-Black out of Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg, Florida, announced his commitment to the program.
“I will like to thank God, my mother, grandfather, and the rest of my family and also my coaches, everybody that has helped me along this long process,” Maxwell-Black wrote in a message posted on Twitter. “But with that being said, I will like to announce I will be committing 100 percent to the University of Pittsburgh.”
Maxwell-Black is unrated by 247Sports but holds a three-star rating from Rivals.
