Coaches from Pitt, Michigan State, Kent State, Richmond and Bucknell have all visited his high school over the past week or so. Now Blair is starting to think about his next move.
"I want to take a visit to Pitt and a visit to West Virginia," Blair said. "I think I want to take a visit to Toledo.
While he doesn't have any favorites it's clear Blair is taking a hard look at Pitt. Both the Panthers and Mountaineers have shown interest.
"Pitt has shown a lot more though. I'm talking to their running backs coach and I really like their education," he said. "My mother went there and told me it's a really good school. It's like home basically."
Blair said schools are recruiting him only as an athlete. He believes he could play defensive back or receiver.
As it has been noted before, Blair's mother isn't his only connection to Pitt. He is also related to former Pitt basketball player DeJuan Blair. He also knows other players from his school that have gone on to attend Pitt.
