Terrill Chestnut, a sensational athlete/quarterback from Pottstown Pottsgrove, in Pennsylvania, a PrepStar All-American, has also accepted an offer from Brian Angelichio to play for Pittsburgh.
Chestnut received offers from everyone on his short list. That includes Connecticut, Duke, Illinois, LSU, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers, South Carolina, Syracuse, Temple, Villanova, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Terrill is 5-11, weighs 180 pounds and has been timed at 4.48 seconds in the forty-yard dash. He has, reportedly, bench-pressed over 250 pounds and squatted over 350 pounds. He has a thirty-four inch vertical jump. Some feel is height militates against playing quarterback at Pittsburgh.
