Leesville Road linebacker Brandon Pittman will hold a press conference on Friday to announce his college choice, his high school coach said late Wednesday night.
David Green said in a text message the Pittman came to him today to talk about his decision.
"He's already made his decision," Green said. "He just wanted to talk to me about it today."
Pittman is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound linebacker who has offers from East Carolina, Elon, N.C. State and Wake Forest.
Last season, Pittman recorded 89 tackles, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and a sack. He helped Leesville Road to a 9-4 season as a junior as the Pride advanced to the second round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association state playoffs before losing to eventual state runner-up Jack Britt.
The time and details of the press conference have not been set.

Jordan High School head football coach Mike Briggs said Sunday evening that T.J. Thorpe's ankle is "feeling better" after he injured it on Friday night.
Thorpe, a senior defensive back and wide receiver who has verbally committed to North Carolina, fell awkwardly on his ankle in Friday's loss to Panther Creek after attempting to catch a pass in the end zone.
After he went down, Thorpe walked off the field on his own power and was treated on the sideline.
Briggs said Thorpe went to the doctor on Sunday but the results were not back. He added that a break was "doubtful."
Thorpe caught three passes for 26 yards against Panther Creek. He also recorded four tackles and returned one interception for 10 yards. Jordan lost the game 30-14.

RALEIGH — Ravenscroft senior Reeves Zaytoun has announced his commitment to attend the University of North Carolina on a golf scholarship.
Zaytoun’s accomplishments include being named the 2010 TISAC Conference Player of the Year and being voted the 2010 team MVP. He is a three-time All-Conference selection and earned All-State recognition in 2008. Zaytoun also helped lead the Ravens to three straight NCISAA 3-A State Championship titles (2007-09) and four straight TISAC Conference championships (2007-10). His stroke average during the 2010 season was just under 36 (26 nine-hole rounds).
Zaytoun is also an outstanding student. He has been an Honor Roll student each of his years in the Upper School, has received multiple academic awards, and is a member of the Spanish Honor Society.
Zaytoun is the fifth Ravenscroft golfer in four years to earn a Division I scholarship, joining his brother, Henry Zaytoun III ’07 (North Carolina),

Linebacker Alfy Hill has enrolled at East Carolina less than a week after he was ruled an academic nonqualifier at Alabama.
Alabama had said the NCAA’s eligibility clearinghouse didn’t accept certain classes Hill took as core courses for certification. East Carolina says Hill’s high school is working with the NCAA to appeal the decision, though Hill will likely sit out this season.
Hill played at West Brunswick, located near the state’s southeast coastline. He was a four-star prospect on Scout.com and was the first player from North Carolina to sign with the Crimson Tide since the 1980s.
