New Jersey QB Pickett commits to Pitt
Kenny Pickett of Oakhurst, N.J., on Saturday became the first quarterback in the Class of 2017 to verbally commit to Pitt.
A three-star recruit according to Rivals, Pickett is ranked No. 22 overall — and the No. 2 quarterback — in New Jersey. An announcement on a Twitter account bearing Pickett's name confirmed the news.
Pickett, who verbally committed to Temple earlier this spring, also has offers from Boston College, Buffalo and Connecticut.
Pickett (6-foot-3, 191 pounds) threw for 1,796 yards with 19 touchdowns and three interceptions last season. He is considered a dual-threat quarterback and ran for 336 yards and five touchdowns.
Pitt has four commits in its Class of 2017, including Paris Ford of Steel Valley, Johnstown defensive back Exree Loe and Findlay, Ohio, athlete Kyle Nunn.
