Pitt freshman John Curran brings local grit, size, and run-blocking punch
John Curran is a 2026 freshman offensive lineman at Pitt from Pine-Richland, listed at 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds, and the early buzz on him is straightforward: he’s a physical run blocker with real nastiness. Pitt’s staff said he has settled in at guard after arriving as a lifelong Panthers fan, which fits his profile as a compact, powerful interior lineman. He was a three-star recruit and a strong in-state pull, so if you want a tough, developmental OL who already plays with edge and local pride, Curran is worth a close look.
