Penn Hills' Ifill chooses Panthers

Brandon Ifill didn't always have Pitt No. 1 on his list, but when he announced his college choice last night, Pitt came out on top.

Ifill, a senior at Penn Hills who was recruited to play cornerback, chose Pitt over Maryland, but he also had numerous other Division I scholarship offers.

"Pitt really came on with me this fall," Ifill said. "I started talking to their coaches a lot more and the more I talked to them, the more I got comfortable. They're just so well-rounded in everything they have. Their academics and academic support are great, just as well as the coaching."
