Zion Fowler visited Pitt’s campus five times during the recruiting process. So, even after the three-star wide receiver prospect decommitted from Pitt on Nov. 18, he never stopped thinking about a career with the Panthers.
On Tuesday afternoon, the day before national signing day, Fowler of St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City, N.J., rejoined Pitt’s class of 2023 when he told coach Pat Narduzzi he plans to enroll next year. He chose Pitt over scholarship offers from Duke, Louisville, Virginia Tech and Syracuse.
After reflection and thought I have decided that the University of Pittsburgh is, and has always been, the best place for me. I want to thank all of the Pitt coaches for believing in me throughout this process and giving me a tremendous opportunity to represent a great program???? pic.twitter.com/3nX29QPVYC
