Pitt Football Hosting 2026 4-Star RB

PITTSBURGH — The Pitt Panthers have targeted one of the best running back recruits in the nation, who will make a visit this summer.

Kory Amachree, a running back in the Class of 2026, will make an official visit to Pitt on June 14, according to an interview he did with Steve Wiltfong of On3.

Amachree plays for Haslett High School in Haslett, Mich., near Lansing. He played in six games as a junior in 2024, with 1,102 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground and finishing with 1,394 all-purpose yards and a touchdown on a return, earning All-State honors.

He stands at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds, making it difficult for defenses to stop him on the ground, as he has a penchant for breaking tackles and doesn't go down easily.

Amachree also ran the 100-meter dash in 10.9 seconds, as he possesses great spead, making him a threat on the ground or as a receiver.

Panthers secondary/cornerbacks coach Archie Collins, who primarily recruits Michigan, offered Amachree on May 12, 2024. He also made a visit to Pitt back on July 31.

“For Pitt, they share a practice field with the Steelers which is cool, and I like the people over there,” Amachree said to Wiltfong. “It feels like family.”
