, the 6-foot 4 290 pound high 3-star defensive tackle from Baldwin High School commits to Pitt over Virginia Tech, Arizona, Minnesota, Arkansas, and others. He shows physicality and disruptiveness in the backfield. Dorien is the fourth WPIAL player and third defensive lineman staying home along with 4 stars Elliot DonaldElliotDonald

. Elliot, Nahki, and Dorien lead Pitt’s 2021 recruiting class. Pitt’s defensive line coach, Charlie Partridge is most likely screaming in his office with this new addition to his d-line group. He’s going to have fun developing these young talented players, along with Dayon Hayes from Westinghouse High School who already made an instant impact for Pitt recording 2 sacks and a forced fumble in his first game. Pitt’s recruiting department has done a really good job keeping these top players home. It also helps to have one of the best defensive line coaches in the country.
