Kicker Ben Sauls, who gave Iowa State a verbal commitment last week, now identifies himself on his Twitter account as a “Pitt football commit.”
He can make his Pitt commitment official Wednesday by signing a binding letter of intent.
Sauls, who attends Tippecanoe High School in Tipp City, Ohio, committed to Boston College last year, but he flipped from the Eagles after former coach Steve Addazio was fired at the end of the season.
Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi has hoped to add a kicker in this year’s recruiting class, with veteran Alex Kessman approaching his senior season.
At Tippecanoe, Sauls, 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, attempted five long-range field goals last season, hitting from 49, 50 and 55 yards and missing 57- and 55-yard attempts.
Sauls, rated a two-star prospect by Rivals.com, has offers from Pitt, BC, Iowa State, Georgia Tech and Iowa State.
