Pitt Lands IMG Academy Defensive Tackle

The Pitt Panthers land their second recruit of the week.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers added a preferred walk-on defensive tackle from IMG Academy. Thomas Aden will join the Panthers for the 2022 season as a post-grad OL/DL.

Aden, 6-foot-2, 280-pounds, had offers from Baldwin Wallace, Grand Valley State, Lake Erie College, Louisiana College, Marist, Mount Union, Notre Dame College, Siena, Tiffin and Wheeling Jesuit during his high school career at St. Edward High School in Ohio. 

He then added interest from other schools like TCU during his post-grad year at IMG. 

Pitt recruiting brought in two players over the weekend, with Missouri State linebacker Tylar Wiltz transferring as well.
