Local Pitt edge-rush veteran with proven sack production
Rori Blair is a Pittsburgh product who played at Upper St. Clair and came into Pitt as a three-star recruit; in the 2016 season, he started eight games and posted 22 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble, showing the kind of burst and backfield disruption that matters on Sundays-or Saturdays. His edge is experience, athleticism, and a mature, high-motor style that coaches value in a DL who can win with effort and versatility. One note: he was dismissed from Pitt in 2017 for conduct detrimental to the program, so fit and reliability matter as much as raw talent.
