Notre Dame, not Penn State or Pittsburgh, the pick for Pittsburgh Central Catholic DT Kurt Hinish

Penn State has lost out on another coveted Pittsburgh Central Catholic class of 2017 prospect.

A day after PCC four-star linebacker David Adams verbally committed to Notre Dame, Vikings' three-star defensive tackle Kurt Hinish did the same, picking the Fighting Irish over Pittsburgh and Penn State. He announced the news during a newscast on KDKA-TV out of Pittsburgh.

Penn State hosted Hinish at the end of February, and many thoughts the Lions had a good chance to land him following that trip. But like Adams, he was blown away by what he saw during an unofficial visit to see Notre Dame's campus last weekend.
