PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers have begun to line up official visits with 2024 and 2025 prospects from around the country for June, typically a boondoggle of a recruiting month for head coach Pat Narduzzi and his staff. 

One of the players Pitt will welcome to campus this summer is Triston Ward, a three-star receiver originally from North Carolina who currently attends Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts.  

Ward, ranked as the No. 8 player in Massachusetts and No. 164 receiver in his class, already has plenty of Power 5 interest from Duke, Boston College, Virginia and Pitt, who have all offered, plus from Ohio State, Penn State, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt and Northwestern, who have shown varying levels of interest but not offered. 

Ward, who stands 6'1 and weighs 190 pounds, self-reports that he runs a 4.5 40-yard dash and can reach 40 inches with his vertical leap.
