Pitt had a de-commit from Jared Williams (though technically keeping his options open). Today Pitt adds one.

The Panthers got their third commitment this season when Dom DeCicco of Thomas Jefferson HS verbally committed to the Panthers this evening. The 6’3″ 206 pound DeCicco, who has gained 16 pounds since basketball season ended according to his father, has played multiple positions for Thomas Jefferson, including wide receiver and defensive back. DeCicco’s father says” “Coach Wannstedt asked him what position he wanted to play and Dom said either slot receiver or safety. Wannstedt said he will get first shot there but may eventually grow into a linebacker.

He’s ranked as #20 as far as Rivals.com prospects in PA. Otherwise, he is unranked nationally by Rivals.com and Scout.com. He seems to be an “athlete” but not the way usually discussed like Dorin Dickerson who is a speed guy. DeCicco seems more the type that will eventually thrive in defense almost as the hybrid that Wannstedt craves. A guy with speed who flys to the ball and hits.

Rumors are also circulating that there will be another commit this weekend. Hopefully it will be OL Gino Gradkowski. He seems down to Pitt or WVU. Honestly, the idea of another Gradkowski coming back to burn Pitt is enough for me to want him playing for Pitt.
