Restocking The Line

Pitt added another offensive lineman recruit this week - Shane Johnson of DeMatha High School in Maryland. Johnson's experience is at guard, but he could play tackle at Pitt according to his coach:

Johnson played mostly at guard during the past three years. However, DeMatha coach Bill McGregor, a Pittsburgh native, said Monday that Johnson is among the most versatile offensive linemen he's had during his 28-year career at DeMatha.

"He can play multiple positions, and I'm sure he'll be big enough to play tackle at Pitt," McGregor said. "He's definitely excited about the challenge and having an opportunity to play for Coach Wannstedt.

Johnson is a 3-star recruit on ESPN.com and is rated the #45 Offensive Lineman (Need to be an insider to view) in the country. He's also a 3-star recruit according to Rivals.com.

He chose Pitt over a bunch of schools including Wake Forest, UCONN, NC State, Virginia, and Boston College among others.
