Ocoee High football three-star athlete and rising senior, Joshua Guerrier, has announced his commitment to play his college ball at Pitt via a post on his X account.

He chose the Panthers over offers from Iowa, Tennessee, Wake Forest and other Power 4 programs.

Guerrier is the definition of an athlete for the Knights. Expect him to play at defensive back, running back, wide receiver and quarterback this season for coach Buck Gurley.

Last season as a DB, he made 34 tackles, caught four interceptions — two of which he returned for touchdowns — and broke up 13 passes. As a returner and running back, he gained a total of 744 yards and scored four more touchdowns.
