Alex Officer, a consensus three-star offensive lineman from New York's Eastridge Senior High School (Rochester), has committed to the Pitt Panthers for the 2013 recruiting class. Officer chose the Panthers with a verbal commitment on Dec. 15 over offers from Boston College, Louisville, Purdue, Rutgers and Syracuse. His official visit to Pitt took place on Dec. 7.

Officer, listed at 6'4" and between 285 and 310 pounds, depending on the scouting service, is the fourth lineman in the 2013 class, joining Dorian Johnson (the No. 2 ranked offensive tackle in the country), Carson Baker and Aaron Reese.
