Pitt adds in-state linebacker

Kaezon Pugh has been high on Pittsburgh’s recruiting board for a long time, and on Monday night, the efforts of the Panthers’ coaching staff paid off. That was when the 2016 linebacker became the latest player to commit to Pat Narduzzi’s team.

Rated the No. 24 outside linebacker in his class, Pugh hails from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. He is one of five in-state prospects in Pitt’s 11-man senior class, and he is the second linebacker to join the 2016 group.
