Finally some good news on the recruiting trail: Washington cornerback Ryan Lewis committed to Pitt Tuesday night.
Lewis, a 6'0" 185 lbs prospect, is a three-star prospect according to Rivals, but landed just two stars on Scout and 247.
He picked Pitt over Colorado and Utah, but did not have an offer from either Washington or Washington State. The lack of offers from the Pacific Northwest schools concern me since it's not exactly as if WA is a football hotbed where the local programs can ignore local FBS-caliber players. But for Pitt, this class needs players and signing day is just a week away.
And if you're wondering what the Pittsburgh connection is for this west coast kid (via the Trib):
Cornerback Ryan Lewis, the nephew of former Steelers defensive coordinator Tim Lewis, made a verbal commitment to Pitt on Tuesday night, according to his father, Will Lewis.
....
Tim Lewis was a standout cornerback at Pitt, and was drafted in the first round of the 1983 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers.
Welcome aboard, Ryan. May you have as much success at Pitt as your uncle.
