Early on Wednesday, rising senior safety Davis Kinney announced a June 12-14 date for his official visit in Pittsburgh, a product of Richmond (Tex.) Fort Bend Travis who carries more than a dozen scholarship offers.

The Panthers coaching staff is beginning to stack up a deep list of official visitors for the June 12-14 date. Kinney is listed alongside fellow Texans in four-star guard Day'jon Moore, quarterback Corey Dailey, cornerback Isaiah McMillian, and linebacker Reilarean Phillips along with key recruits in tight end Javonte Williams, receiver Nyqir Helton, tight end Adam Land, and running backs Kory Amachree and Favour Akih.
