Pitt opportunity knocks, South Fayette receiver Challingsworth steps in
To Zach Challingsworth, it was Rocket science.
Challingsworth was perfectly content about his decision to play college football for the Toledo Rockets. But when the team Challingsworth had always liked offered a scholarship, holy Toledo, it was a no-brainer for Challingsworth.
Pitt was it.
Challingsworth, a standout senior receiver-defensive back at South Fayette High School, decided Friday that he would accept a scholarship from the University of Pittsburgh. This was only four days after he made a verbal commitment to Toledo.
His decision to attend Pitt ended a whirlwind week of recruiting for him.
"It was tough for me to call Toledo back because I really didn't want to 'de-commit.' That's just not who I am," Challingsworth said. "But in recruiting, you have to understand how this all works and you have to do what's best for yourself and take advantage of the best opportunities."
