One time Pitt recruit and former USF receiver, Johnny Peyton, was arrested and charged with possession of crack cocaine.
Coming out of HS for the 2004 recruiting class, Peyton was an solid receiver with tons of potential. He was supposed to be a good recruit for Pitt, and on signing day was considered a big score for USF. He set receiving and TD marks at USF as a freshman. His sophomore year wasn’t as good and shortly afterwards he either left the team or was kicked off of it — depending on who you ask.
I joked about a curse on 2004 recruits who reneged on verbals to Pitt. This, though, is Peyton’s own doing and own bad decisions.
Nothing proven.
