Pitt WR Target Marcus Peterson Commits to McNeese State
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers have been searching high and low for wide receivers in the transfer portal to help them cover for the loss of four wideouts to either the transfer portal or graduation.
The Panthers had hoped Cincinnati transfer Marcus Peterson would have been one of the players to help them do that, but he will instead head to McNeese State. Peterson chose the Cowboys over Colorado, Jacksonville State, New Hampshire, Northwestern State, Alabama A&M, UNLV, UT Martin, Arkansas Pine Bluff, Incarnate Word, Rhode Island, Towson and Troy.
This is the second time the Panthers recruited Peterson. He was a Pitt target as a three-star prospect coming out of high school and visited during that process. He held 30 offers and chose Cincinnati over the likes of Georgia, Florida State, LSU, Louisville, Ole Miss, Penn State and Wisconsin. At 6'4 and 200 pounds, he was recruited as a tight end but played receiver primarily during his one season with the Bearcats.
After not appearing in any games during his first collegiate season and redshirting, Peterson still has four years of eligibility remaining.
