The stories are out on Dom DeCicco’s verbal. The P-G has a small notice-like story. Kevin Gorman at the Trib has a lot more from talking to the DeCicco’s and his HS coach.
“I never thought I was going to end up at Pitt. I was iffy about where they wanted me to play. I didn’t think they had a set position for me,” DeCicco said. “Coach Wannstedt took me to his office, and my questions were answered.”

“He’s such a versatile player,” said TJ coach Bill Cherpak, a former Pitt player. “He can play a number of positions. They’ll find somewhere to play him. He has the size and athletic ability to do a lot of different things.”DeCicco runs the 40-yard dash in the 4.6-second range, ran a Scout.com-best 3.85-second time in the pro shuttle and had a vertical leap of 34 inches. DeCicco also bench-presses 300 pounds and did 17 repetitions of 185 pounds at the Nike Training Camp at Ohio State.
He is projected to start his college career as a receiver or safety, but many scouts expect him to grow into a tight end or outside linebacker.
“It really doesn’t matter,” DeCicco said. “That wasn’t a big factor. I would like to play safety or receiver, but if I get too big, I’ll be just as happy at linebacker or tight end. Right now, it’s up in the air. It depends on where I think I can get on the field quicker.”
The article seemed to imply near the end that Nick Sukay was leaning towards Penn State.
