Power sign former Pitt defensive back Ricky Gary

According to Gregg Giannotti on 93.7 The Fan, and also Ricky Gary's Twitter account (@sticky_ricky26), former Pitt defensive back Ricky Gary has signed with the Pittsburgh Power.

The 5'9" defensive back recorded 66 tackles and 3 interceptions during his Pitt career.  He is said to possess excellent "man to man" coverage skills. 







Scout.com rated him the 26th best cornerback prospect coming out of high school, mentioning he had great anticipation and backpedal quickness.  His only knock was his size. 

His full name is Ricky Ricardo Gary.  Wonder if he loves Lucy?  Regardless he's the man with three first names.  That definitely makes him standout.

He is a cousin of Baltimore Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin and former Kansasy City Chiefs tackle Willie Jones.

The Power will have one more tryout for those who think they have what it takes to make the team.  It takes place this Saturday (November 20th) at Southpointe.
