Pitt Football Misses Out on 4-Star Target

PITTSBURGH The Pitt Panthers worked hard, but didn't secure the services of a top football recruit.

Kory Amachree, a recruit in the Class of 2026, committed to Kansas, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports.

Amachree had Pitt in his final six schools , along with Duke, Harvard, Indiana and Michigan State, which he announced on May 17.

He plays for Haslett High School in Haslett, Mich., near Lansing.

He played in six games as a junior in 2024, with 1,102 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground and finishing with 1,394 all-purpose yards and a touchdown on a return, earning All-State honors.

Panthers secondary/cornerbacks coach Archie Collins, who primarily recruits Michigan, offered Amachree on May 12, 2024.

He also made a visit to Pitt back on July 31.

Pitt running backs coach Lindsey Lamar visited Amachree at his home on May 10, as the program continues showing their interest in the running back.

Amachree originally had an official visit to Pitt scheduled for June 14, moved it back to May 15 and then postponed it.

There is no date for that official visit as of now or if he'll ever take it.
