KDKA's Rich Walsh goes 1-on-1 with Pat Narduzzi On National Letter of Intent Day:
"The most impressive thing about this class is the character," Narduzzi said. "Major character. When you talk to these kids, you've got a bunch of leaders. We've got a group of character individuals that will lead this football team into the future and guys that you really want to be in the foxhole with."
Narduzzi spoke specifically about his top recruit defensive back Jordan Whitehead.
"The number one player in the state, probably enough said there. You couldn't have a better addition to the class. He's a guy that's hung on and again had faith and trust and is a guy that loves the city of Pittsburgh and the state of Pennsylvania. He can do it all."
