Exclusive: QB Corey Dailey Shares Pitt Connection, More

While Julian Dugger is now a Washington State Cougar, the Pittsburgh Panthers are left with returning starting quarterback Eli Holstein and his three seasons of eligibility, incoming transfer Cole Gonzales (one year of eligibility remaining), and true freshman Mason Heintschel. 

Only three scholarship quarterbacks is one shy of the volume considered adequate depth at the Division I level. While signing two quarterbacks in a single recruiting class isn’t common, it makes sense for an offense in Pitt’s current position. 

It’s why Panthers fans need to know Corey Dailey. 

While Pitt already carries a quarterback commit out of Texas, Kade Bell and the Panthers coaching staff are in pursuit of Dailey who has started at Seguin High School (in Seguin, Texas) since his freshman year. 

Over those three seasons, Dailey has thrown 511-of-827 (61.8%) for 6,217 yards and 78 touchdowns to just 18 interceptions. What's more, he's been a legitimate superstar in two additional sports, averaging 22.2 points per game on the basketball count this year, and in baseball, MaxPreps lists a .490 batting average with 24 hits, 20 runs, 18 RBIs, and a home run, six stolen bases, and a 1.21 ERA with 23 strikouts and only five hits allowed.
