Shoring Up The O-Line

Filed under: Uncategorized — Chas @ 4:23 pm

Okay, no sooner does Pittsburgh Sports Report send an update on Pitt recruiting with the following information:

The biggest area of need, and something the Panthers have yet to address, is the tackle position. Big (literally) help could come from JEFF OTAH, a massive 6’7″ 340-pounder from Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, PA. Otah will enter as a junior and could easily see time, or even start, right away. South Carolina is the biggest obstacle for the Panthers to overcome for Otah’s services. Local prospect ANDY MILLER of Trinity High School in Washington, PA was a tight end in high school but his frame (6’6″ 260) and quick feet has the Panthers thinking he could make a good offensive tackle. They must, however, battle Ohio State and West Virginia, who both think the same thing. The Panthers have also taken a liking recently to CHRIS DAINO from Neshaminy High School in Feasterville, PA. The 6’4 1/2″ 275-pound Daino is a sleeper that could develop in time, but Pitt has yet to offer, and may not should they land Otah and Miller before Daino’s January visit. The success of this offensive line class will come down to the Panthers holding on to [Joe] Thomas and securing Otah, because both should at least see time in the rotation next year, if not start.

So, of course, this afternoon Otah verbals to Pitt (hat tip to Neil). South Carolina was the only other school Otah visited. He also had offers from Maryland, West Virginia and Michigan State.
