Woody Schettini Reflects on Initial Pitt Trip and Legend Encounter
Pitt hosted 2028 four-star running back Woody Schettini during its game against North Carolina. The visit marked Schettini's first trip to Pittsburgh, and he also met a Panthers legend. Schettini attends Northgate High School in Newnan, Georgia.
For college football programs, bringing a touted recruit to campus for a game can be part of relationship-building and exposure. The Panthers welcomed Woody Schettini, a four-star running back in the 2028 class, for their contest versus North Carolina. The trip was his first to Pittsburgh, and he also encountered a Panthers legend. He is a student at Northgate High School in Newnan, Ga.
This visit may matter most to Pitt’s recruiting staff, fans, and Schettini’s local football community. A positive first trip and a meeting with a program legend could help Pitt build early rapport with a 2028 prospect, though it does not ensure a commitment. For fans, such moments can shape expectations; for young athletes, they show how campus visits and personal connections may influence recruiting decisions.
