Central Catholic senior quarterback Tino Sunseri committed to the University of Pittsburgh earlier this evening.

Sunseri, a 6-foot-1 1/2 200-pounder and son of former Pitt great Sal Sunseri, had previously made a commitment to the University of Louisville but changed directions and decided on the Panthers after re-opening his recruitment last month.

Sunseri is Pitt's third commitment just today, joining Norwin's Mike Shanahan and Aliquippa's Jonathan Baldwin.

"I looked at the situation and what coach Wannstedt told me is that the quarterback race at Pitt is wide open," Sunseri said. "Anywhere you go, you are going to have to compete for the job and that is the same way it is going to be at Pitt. They told me that I have a chance to come in and start right away because the quarterback situation is wide open and I am going to do all I can, you know, work as hard as I can to get on the field early."
