Pat Narduzzi and the Pitt coaching staff made progress in the recruitment of a promising prospect on Saturday, as Marcus Peterson, a wide receiver out of Columbia High School in Lake City, Florida, placed Pitt in his top six.
Joining Pitt on Peterson’s list of finalists were Cincinnati, Florida State, Kansas, Miami and UCF. That list was derived from an offer sheet featuring more than 30 programs, and some of the most notable cuts included Arkansas, Boston College, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Ole Miss, Penn State, South Carolina and Tennessee.
