PITTSBURGH -- With the 2022 season over, the Pitt Panthers are well into the portion of their calendar dedicated to recruiting. Fresh off a dramatic win in the Sun Bowl, Pitt is hitting the recruiting trail hard.

Follow along here all day as Inside the Panthers keeps you updated on who Pitt is after.

A freshman defensive lineman had already racked up nine Division I offers from the likes of LSU, Penn State, Tennessee, Georgia and more and Pitt is the latest addition to his offer sheet. Preston Carey, a 6'4, 280-pound rusher from St. Anthony's High School on Long Island, New York, is the latest to become a Panthers target.

The Panthers have continued to recruit the ranks of Florida high school powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas heavily. Pitt is in contact with a few players from that school and their latest offer went to 2025 linebacker Martin Rhyne. It's his first Power 5 offer. Kentucky was in to offer shortly after.
