Pitt's final home game of the season will be a big one, as the Panthers host Clemson for a noon kickoff at Acrisure Stadium.
With a big game on tap, the Pitt coaches have a big group of recruits expected to be in attendance. We've confirmed more than 25 targets, commits and prospects who will be at the game tomorrow; here's a rundown of who we've confirmed.
Hilson is the highest-rated recruit visiting Pitt this weekend as a five-star prospect who ranks as the No. 1 defensive tackle prospect in the nation and the No. 16 overall recruit in the class. He decommitted from Florida State in September; prior to committing to the Seminoles, he took official visits to Florida, Texas and UCF, and it looks like Syracuse is in consideration as well.
Hilson's connection to Pitt is through James Folston, the former Pitt defensive end who is one of his coaches at Cocoa High School in Florida. That's likely how he ended up taking an unofficial visit to Pitt last January (2023) and why he's returning for an official visit this weekend.
That said, I'm not sure I see Hilson ending up at Pitt. I'm not sure where he'll go, but it seems unlikely that he will be a Panther. Still, it's never a bad thing to have a five-star prospect on campus.
Pitt will also be hosting these recruits from the 2026 class; they all have offers from the Panthers.
