The best Pitt players all-time from every state

[cbpitt2]

With this group of coaches recruiting Florida so heavily, I started to think about the players Pitt had from all the other states.

PA - Tony Dorsett - close the book on any more submissions for PA. Don't even bother.
Minnesota - Larry Fitzgerald - close the book on any more submissions for Minnesota.
Mississippi - Hugh Green - close the book on any more submissions for Mississippi.

Every time I think of somebody, they're usually from PA. How about the other 47 states.

FLA - Ricky Jackson
NJ - Ironhead Heyward
NY - Mark May
OH - Matt Cavanaugh
WV - Marshall Goldberg
VA - Chris Blewitt

So, which one are you considering for this exercise? State of birth, or state of high school graduation?

So if someone was born in one state. Lived there for a year but grew up and spent the next 17 years in Virginia you consider him a New Jerseyian?

Where does Alex Van Pelt land?

He was born in Pittsburgh.

Grew up in, and played high school football Grafton, WV. Moved to Texas his Sr. year in high school (to live with his Mom) to play football in Texas to get noticed by colleges.

Pa; WV; Tx?

Even moreso....................Curvin Richards. Most people would probably pick him for the best Pitt player from Texas. But he was born in Trinidad.

Valid point and question. But as Raleigh pointed out with Van Pelt, I'd say place of birth eliminates the multiple state residences question entirely.

So Curvin Richards is Pitt's best player from Trinidad.

Was Keith Hamilton from Virginia?

 

[delcojim]

It's hard to dispute Dorsett as the best from PA, but Bill Fralic has to fit in here somewhere!

Allegheny County vs Beaver County?

Lee was a specialist. Gadson was a football player. Gadson is the best Panther player out of SC.

 

[thebadby2]

Was Keith Hamilton from Virginia?

Yes. Ruben Brown was the best Pitt player from VA, Keith Hamilton second. George Aston is from VA. Blewitt not even on the radar screen for that one.

So, which one are you considering for this exercise? State of birth, or state of high school graduation?

For purposes of this discussion, it should be based on state of high school graduation. No other way makes sense.
