An all-purpose weapon and slot receiver in Dylan Wester alongside a strong-willed, physical, a highly capable outside receiver in Demetrice McCray creates an ideal pair for the Pitt Panthers.

Two down, two to go?

How many receivers Kade Bell and his staff will sign in the 2026 recruiting cycle could hinge on which pass-catchers would follow Wester and McCray. For now, considering the roster needs at the position, there's no doubt that Zechariah Jenkins is one of the most appealing names among those scheduled for official visits over the next month.

Tony Kinsler (5-11, 170), Cameron Sapp (5-10, 170), and Bryce Yates (6-0, 175) make up the incoming freshman receivers class. It's not a group with a lot of size, and that's a big part of why Jenkins makes lots of sense here for the Panthers, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound, big-framed receiver who knows how to weaponize his length.

To learn more about the Mississippi product, last night, Inside the Panthers On SI connected with his longtime teammate, tight end Trey Bridges, to gain firsthand insight into the three-star Pitt prospect.

Jenkins is set to take an official visit next month, scheduled to arrive in Pittsburgh on June 19. This is a prospect worth tracking for all the reasons his teammate laid out above.
