Peachtree Ridge High School senior Connor Heyward has an offer from Georgia Tech, but Pittsburgh might be calling his name after his visit on Saturday.
A 3-star athlete from Suwanee, Ga., Heyward has 14 total offers including Tech and Pitt who Heyward saw play Oct. 8 for Pitt’s 37-34 win over Georgia Tech.
In addition to Pitt and Tech, Heyward’s offers include Arizona State, Boston College, Cincinnati, Georgia Southern, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Memphis, Rutgers and South Florida and Vanderbilt..
At 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, Heyward also plays basketball for Peachtree Ridge, according to his Twitter page.
Playing in all three phases for Peachtree Ridge (2-4), Heyward's senior highlight package from the Lions first three games this season against McCallie High School, Archer High School, and Mays High School, Heyward demonstrates his attention to detail and flexibility in each position he plays.
Heyward’s highlights begin with the senior at wide receiver making a catch in single coverage and then in the same game, at defensive back where he picks off the opposing quarterback. Heyward also played a role on special teams this season, acting as a kicker returner and then a place holder, but running the ball for a touchdown in a fake field goal attempt.
Heyward is also seen at quarterback for the Lions in select packages.
The Lions play Mill Creek High School on Friday night in Hoschton, Ga.
