On Tuesday, Central Valley CB Jordan Whitehead had a guy feeling, that feeling was Pitt.

"The bottom line, I think the end result came down to, he's a family guy. It's important to him, that's why he chose Pitt in the back of my mind."

That was Head Coach Mark Lyons' take on Whitehead's decision.

Whitehead, after receiving his Semper-Fi All-Star Game jersey, would go on to to give his reasons for choosing Pitt.

"Just one day this week, it hit me. Pitt was it. It felt close, it felt like home. Everybody gets to see me play and I felt comfortable with all of the coaches."

Early playing time was a huge factor in Whitehead's decision. He would go on to comment;

"I don't want anything given to me. I want an opportunity, but nothing to be given to me. I'm going to get out there and work. Offense, defense, special teams, wherever they need me, I'm there to work."

His parents were behind him the whole way and didn't push him to any school.

When did Whitehead exactly have 'that feeling'? "From Tuesday on, it was Pitt.

Whitehead had not told any coaches prior to his commitment, and was excited to be able to call Coach Chryst and give him the news.

To end the interview, Whitehead would say;

"I think Pitt is becoming a great program. I just want to go down there and help out early."
