Tyler Tkach, last mentioned on this blog when Coach Wannstedt was on the trail in Eastern Pennsylvania, has made a verbal to Pitt. Tkach had drawn offers from a lot of ACC schools, including NC State and Virginia. Rivals.com has him as #41 in Pennsylvania and PantherLair puts him at #25. Tkach plays both TE and DE.
What makes the signing important to Pitt, in a broader sense is that Tkach is from the Eastern part of the state. An area Pitt had seemingly abandoned. A very, very good sign.
