SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Highly recruited four-star South Charleston defensive back Derrek Pitts on Wednesday night ended a busy recruiting process by announcing his commitment to Penn State.
In what has been a strong 2017 recruiting class for the state, Pitts had been regarded by many recruiting services as the most sought after.
“Derrek has handled all of the attention very well,” said South Charleston coach Donnie Mays. “When I first told him that he was offered by Auburn, I didn’t really hit him – it was just another day. That was his mentality at the beginning.
