Pitt loses Khadry Jackson to North Carolina

The safety out of Windermere Prep in the Orlando, Florida, area delivered the news via Twitter.
Jackson did not provide a statement on his decision, but it followed the hiring of Mack Brown on Nov. 27. Brown previously won a national championship as the head coach at Texas and was selected to replace outgoing head coach Larry Fedora, who went 5-18 over the last two seasons but managed to go 6-0 against Pitt since 2013.
