Davion Pritchard was high on Pitt before his official visit this past weekend.
The Youngstown (Oh.) Austintown Fitch defensive back prospect knew he liked cornerbacks coach Archie Collins. He knew he connected with head coach Pat Narduzzi, himself a Youngstown native. And he knew about the Panthers’ history of putting defensive backs in the NFL.
But before Pritchard was ready to commit, he needed to know just how serious the Pitt staff was about adding him to the roster. So he asked the head coach directly.
“During my meeting with Coach Narduzzi, I asked him how I felt about me,” Pritchard told Panther-Lair.com. “He said, ‘Honestly, you wouldn’t be here on the first week of visits if I didn’t feel great about you. You wouldn’t even be offered.’
“Then he said, ‘But you’re a Youngstown guy like me and we want to recruit you. The film shows what you can do, you’re a good person and we want you.’”
After that response, Narduzzi had a question for Pritchard.
“He asked how I felt about them,” Prichard said. “And I told him I want to commit.”
