Wednesday marked the beginning of college football’s early signing period, and there were no surprises for Pat Narduzzi and the Pitt coaching staff, as 16 of their 18 verbally committed recruits faxed in their national letters of intent by close of business. The other two recruits, Jordan Addison and Timothy Brown, are accounted for, as Addison plans on signing on Thursday and Brown is awaiting a resolution to his legal situation.
The letters of intent began to flow in at 7:05 a.m., when Sam Williams, a defensive end out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the first recruit to commit to Pitt in the 2020 cycle, sent his into Pitt’s staff.
