Lual Aleu on X: @LualAleu2027

Lual Aleu has a unique athletic background that makes up an ideal profile at the offensive tackle position. Of course, being 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds with an 82-inch wingspan as a sophomore helps, too.

On Friday, Aleu took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to announce that he’ll visit Pitt on March 22.

Out of Winton Woods High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, the 2027 tackle prospect competes in a highly competitive schedule with opponents who collectively carry a large number of Division-I recruits.

A solid student with a 3.42 GPA, Aleu so far boasts scholarship offers from Power Four programs in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Vanderbilt, and West Virginia alongside Bowling Green, Eastern Kentucky, Kent State, Marshall, Miami of Ohio, Toledo, and Western Kentucky.

Following his social media announcement today, Inside the Panthers connected with Aleu to discuss details on his background, his recruitment, and why he booked a trip to Pittsburgh.
