Wannstedt to consider incoming freshmen

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pittsburgh head coach Dave Wannstedt wants to give incoming freshmen a chance to compete for starting jobs in training camp before finalizing his depth chart.
"I probably won't do that until two weeks before the season begins," Wannstedt said. "The best guys will play."
He said he expects to have a workable depth chart ready for the annual Blue-Gold game on Saturday at Heinz Field.
Among the more notable recruits is Jeff Otah, a 6-foot-6, 340-pound left tackle who played last fall at Valley Forge Military Academy.
He will be eligible in the fall, along with wideout Dorin Dickerson from West Allegheny, defensive linemen John Malecki from Franklin Regional and Jason Pinkston from Baldwin, and wideout Elijah Fields from Duquesne. Fields, however, could be moved to safety.
Defensive back Lowell Robinson, a transfer from Erie Community College, also could make an immediate impact.
"I think that we're still doing a little bit of experimenting with some players and moving them around," Wannstedt said. "But that's probably going to be a work in progress until a week or two weeks before that opener.
"We've got to continue to evaluate and create a real sense of competition to have every player go out and play as good as they're capable of playing. But we are ahead of last year, at least from a coaching standpoint, in knowing what our players can do."
