University Of Pittsburgh Commit's Mother Dresses In Full Pads During Visit [PHOTOS]

Being a highly-recruited high school football player often leads to great times for the athlete and his family in advance of signing day.

When a kid is recruited, he gets to see all of what the school has to offer, which includes wearing the school's uniforms to pose for photos. The new trend for recruits is having their parents don the uniforms as well.

Now the moms are in getting in on the action -- and it's awesome!

Romello Brinson, a 2021 wide receiver from Miami, recently announced he had an offer from Pitt. Then his mom got in on the action.

But it was 2019 linebacker Leslie Smith, a Pitt commit also from Miami, who apparently started the trend.
