Pittsburgh Panthers
· 2026-06-30
Pittsburgh Panthers have struck again in Georgia with the commitment of CB Khamani Estrada, a 6-foot, 175-pound standout from Atlanta's Westlake.
The Panthers' recruiting success in Georgia continues with Estrada choosing Pitt over Louisville, Purdue, North Carolina, and West Virginia.
Estrada cited relationships and long-term development as key factors in his decision, with the official visit to Pittsburgh proving to be the turning point.
He wanted to go somewhere he could see himself succeeding and playing early, and Pitt's defensive scheme provides an ideal fit for his skill set.
The commitment of Estrada gives the Panthers another athletic defensive back from one of the nation's premier recruiting states.
Coach Collins' relationship with Estrada was a major factor, with Collins having offered him back in May 2025 and building a strong bond.
The Panthers' next game is against Miami (OH) RedHawks on September 5, 2026, and with Estrada on board, they look to strengthen their lineup.
Estrada believes Pitt's defensive scheme provides an ideal fit for his skill set, and he likes the team's strategy of building through high school recruiting.
The loyalty from Coach Collins and Coach Narduzzi's defense really stood out to Estrada, who can see himself fitting into that system and developing.
Coach Collins is all over Georgia, and the Panthers are trying to build something different in Pittsburgh, with Estrada being a key part of that effort.
The Panthers already ranked near the top of Estrada's list before the visit, but the trip to Pittsburgh solidified their position.
Estrada's commitment is a significant boost to the Panthers' recruiting class, and he is expected to make an immediate impact.
