Looks like another verbal to add to the mix. Scout.com is now reporting that Ryan Turnley, an Guard out of Hopewell High in Aliquippa has committed to Pitt. Scout.com lists him only as a 1-star, while Rivals.com has him as a 2-star recruit. He’s also listed in the Rivals.com PA top 40 recruits at #37. Pittsburgh Sports Report has him as a possible late addition to their top-50.
Hey, even if he’s a project or more raw potential at this time, just good to get offensive linemen committing. He also had offers from Wisconsin, Louisville, Maryland and GT.
Follow-up: Rivals.com is listing Nic DiLillo as a soft verbal to Pitt at this time. Kevin Gorman is also posting that he has comitted.
Thomas and Malecki may still struggle some this year…they’re still young and they’re still learning the nuances of the position. Same thing with Nix, Jacobsen, etc. It may take a year or two for some of these kids to really mature physically to the point that they’ll become dominant linemen.
