Rahmir Stewart, the No. 1 safety in the 2023 class, eliminated more than half the programs from his offer sheet on Friday and released his final 14, including Pitt as one of his finalists. Pitt is the only ACC program in the running for the prospect out of Philadelphia but it has several heavyweights to contend with.
Joining Pitt on Stewart’s list of top schools are Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Iowa State, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC and West Virginia. The 14-team list was derived from an offer sheet with 31 programs represented, and the cuts included Arkansas, Baylor, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Texas, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
