Pitt football coach Dave Wannstedt continued his recruiting prowess in the state of Pennsylvania today, getting a verbal commitment from Devin Street, a wide receiver from Liberty High School in Bethlehem.

Street is the fifth player from the high school Class of 2009 to commit to Pitt, joining Pennsylvania products Juantez Hollins, a lineman from Aliquippa, and Cory King, a lineman from Lakeview High School in Mercer County.

Jack Lippert, a defensive end from Central Dauphin High School near Harrisburg, has also committed, as has Dion Lewis, a running back from New Jersey.

At 6-feet-4, 175-pounds, Street is a bona fide big-play threat who possesses sub-4.5 speed in the 40-yard dash and has run the 100 in 10.58 seconds.

Street, who plans to be a dentist, chose the Panthers after considering scholarship offers from Rutgers, Boston College, Connecticut, Temple and Akron.

"I am a competitive guy, I hate losing and I don't lose, I never go into anything with the goal anything less than winning," Street said. "I know nothing is going to be handed to me, but coach Wannstedt said that through hard work I can get some playing time early. I plan to work hard, as I always do because, like I said, I'm someone who does not see losing as an option."
