“I actually just called Coach [Mike] McQueary about 10 minutes ago,” Pitz said “I told him I decided I’d like to come to Penn State. He seemed happy. He said they were glad to have me.”
Pitz, 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, actually had the chance to meet McQueary a few weeks ago on a visit to State College.
“I flew in there and met Coach McQueary when we were on spring break,” Pitz said.
