Three-Star OL Moritz Schmoranzer Puts Pitt in Final Four

The Pitt Panthers are a finalist for a blue-chip offensive lineman.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers' continued pursuit of 2024 prospects to round out their next recruiting class took them to a German native playing his high school ball in Roanoke, Virginia. 

Moritz Schmoranzer, a three-star offensive lineman out of North Cross High School, took a visit to Pitt this weekend and at the conclusion of his time in Pittsburgh, named the Panthers to his final four alongside Virginia Tech, Miami and West Virginia. 

Schmoranzer took official visits to each school in his final four this month and announced that he would commit on June 30. He has a relationship with fellow 2024 Pitt offensive line target Ryan Howerton, who said the two would be a "package deal". Howerton, a four-star prospect, was also visiting the Panthers this weekend. 

The 6'4 and 280-pound prospect is rated as a three-star pso by both 247Sports and Rivals. He is ranked as high as the No. 15 player in Virginia (Rivals) and the No. 44 offensive tackle in the class of 2024. 

He cut an offer sheet that included Virginia, Georgia Tech, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Westigerna and Old Dominion down to those four schools.
