Jason Douglas, an all-purpose running back from Cypress Bay High School in Weston, Fla., made a verbal commitmnent to Pitt last night. He is the 14th player from the class of 2009 to commit to the Panthers.

Douglas chose the Panthers over scholarship offers from Kansas State, Vanderbilt, Northern Illinois, Central Michigan and Troy.

He is 5-feet-6, 174 pounds, and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds. In addition to competing for time at the running back spot he is projected to help the Panthers as a kick and punt returner and perhaps a slot receiver.

Also today, the Big East announced that the start time for the Pitt-Cincinnati game on Nov. 22 at Cincinnati will be 7:15 p.m. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2.
