Jason Douglas, an all-purpose running back from Cypress Bay High School in Weston, Fla., made a verbal commitment to Pitt Sunday night. 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.

He's a little guy with big speed. He might surprise some folks.

I know nothing about him...just being optomistic.

Reminds me of LaRod Stephens-Howling, he will be a good change of pace back.

Jacquizz Rogers is listed at 5'6" and 180lbs. Anyone that watched him run wild against USC wouldn't say he isn't big enough.
