Pitt Stands Out to 3-Star IOL Rhett Morris After Spring Visit
Karl Ludwig • Pitt Sports News
Staff Writer
It’s one thing to make it out for a game visit, another to check out a spring practice and a whole different experience to take an official visit at Pitt.
Rhett Morris — a 6-foot-3, 300-pound three-star interior offensive lineman from Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, N.J. — has now experienced two of the three opportunities. And the third is in the near future.
Morris has scheduled an official visit for June 19-21 and is now coming off an unofficial visit to Pittsburgh for the first spring practice.
“It was awesome,” Morris told Pitt Sports News. “It was great to meet all the coaches. I enjoyed watching practice. It was definitely upbeat, and I loved the energy.”

Morris was previously committed to Wake Forest, decommitting when the coaching staff underwent change in January, and Pitt jumped back into the fray not long after. Offensive line coach Jeremy Darveau stopped by Don Bosco Prep on Jan. 28.
He holds offers from Army, Boston College, Coastal Carolina, JMU, Kent State, Monmouth, Navy, Old Dominion, Pitt, Temple, UNLV, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and West Virginia.
Pitt has been on Morris since last May, when linebackers coach Ryan Manalac extended an offer, and the relationship with Darveau has stood out throughout.
Morris was able to reconnect with Darveau on the visit and listen to what was important.
“To focus on the O-line and see what they were doing because I need to learn the day-to-day stuff from what they do, just to get used to everything," Morris said. "It was just great to watch. I got to see them work on their technique; it was more of a fundamental day. It was just great to watch the O-line because I know they lead them upfront there.”
Morris has served as the left guard at Don Bosco, playing some center during his peewee days, and the Pitt coaching staff sees him as an interior option -- either spot.
So, while he isn't a center at Don Bosco, he still views himself as a leader. A transition to center, if it were to happen, wouldn't be a problem. Regardless of where he lines up, he sees an easy fit.
"They seem to run the ball a good amount, and I love run blocking," Morris said. "I love pass blocking, too, but I have a nose for the football, and I just like to beat up on whoever I’m going against.”
Pitt has managed to stand out, and it isn't just because of the fit on the field. It's what he's largely experienced off the field.
“I’d say how inclusive they are and the family atmosphere I feel is just very tight there," Morris said. "Everybody is like a family, which I really love. It really reminds me of my high school, and that’s kind of what I want in a college, just to feel at home and have that family vibe.”
Morris is receiving a lot of interest at this point in his recruiting process, from the schools that have offered and those that haven't, and he's working to narrow it down now. That's why he's taking his official visits.
He wants a school that shows interest in him, of course. But the fit on and off the field is important, and Morris feels like he's pretty accurately able to determine whether a school is right for him right when he steps on campus. So, Pitt?
“They’re definitely one of my top interests right now," Morris said. "They’ve shown me a lot of interest and love in general. They’re always texting me, all the coaches. I got to sit down with coach Narduzzi and just talk to him like a normal human being, like it wasn’t anything crazy, but it definitely felt like that family atmosphere. There’s like almost a brotherhood.”
Morris is looking to make a commitment sometime before his senior season at Don Bosco.
