Penn State Target Jordan Whitehead Commits to Pitt

16

In what was both a surprising and unsurprising move, four star CB Jordan Whitehead committed to Pitt this afternoon. It was surprising in that while Pitt was definitely on the radar, it truly seemed like Penn State and West Virginia were the front-runners here. However, what seems like it kept Pitt in it until the end was the relationship factor and their depth chart. Whitehead is very close with a number of players on Pitt's current roster (unsurprising considering he is from Monaca, PA), and that may have been what finally pushed him to a decision. He also is very interested in early playing time, of which Pitt has plenty to offer right now. Whitehead will undoubtedly be the crown jewel of the Panthers' class, and will have a chance to make a truly immediate impact in both the secondary and the return game. Best of luck to you, Jordan.
