Max Browne made the move from USC to Pitt work. Ricky Town could be hoping for some of the same transferring magic.
Town’s private quarterback coach confirmed to 247Sports.com that Town has committed to continuing his FBS playing career at Pitt. The move to the Panthers comes after Town took a visit to the football program this past weekend.
“This is the perfect system for him,” Town’s tutor, Donovan Dooley, told the recruiting website. “I think the pro-style system is good for him.”
Originally a USC signee, Town announced in mid-August of 2015 that he would be transferring from the Trojans. Less than a week later, after considering Florida as well, Town landed at Arkansas. In December of 2016, Town transferred from the Razorbacks as well.
Town spent the 2017 season at a California junior college, which would allow him to play immediately for a Panthers program that has already lost two quarterbacks to transfer in the last week. The California native has two years of eligibility remaining.
Town was a four-star member of the Trojans’ 2015 recruiting class, rated as the No. 6 pro-style quarterback in the country; the No. 15 player at any position in the state of California; and the No. 79 player overall on 247Sports.com‘s composite board. In January of 2014, Town pulled his verbal commitment from Alabama and gave it to USC.
