A few notes:
- 2017 Central Catholic linebacker David Adams had something come up and couldn't make the game. The same goes for 2017 Beaver Falls defensive tackle Donovan Jeter.
- Pugh wasn't confirmed on our initial list, but he was at Heinz Field and got plenty of VIP treatment on the sidelines before the game.
- Street was also a late addition to the list, but he was among the most notable recruits to attend the game since he received an offer from the Pitt staff while he was at Heinz Field. Street is the younger brother of Pitt's all-time leading receiver, Devin Street. Here are the younger Street's sophomore highlights.
- Thorpe is a top 2017 target for Pitt, and he had a positive reaction to his time at the game, telling Panther-Lair.com "Pitt really looked good on both sides, great teamwork (and) really hyped sidelines."
- Clark told Panther-Lair.com that he was really impressed with how Pitt used the tight ends in Saturday's win - JP Holtz and Scott Orndoff combined to catch four passes for 99 yards and a touchdown - and said that the role of the tight end in Pitt's offense is a major draw for him.
- This list is not complete, but it covers most of the top targets who visited Heinz Field on Saturday.
