Mt. Lebanon’s Mac Stout wrestles J.P McCaskey’s Andrew Vogelbacher in the 170-pound weight class in the PIAA wrestling tournament in Class AAA on Thursday, March 5, 2020, at the Giant Center in Hershey.
An injury kept Mt. Lebanon junior Mac Stout from defending his WPIAL Class AAA 189-pound wrestling title in 2021.
But his success on the mat didn’t stop Stout from being heavily recruited by NCAA Division I programs.
Stout announced on Instagram Sunday that he’s committing to Pitt, where his brother Kellen finished his career by qualifying for the 2020 NCAA Tournament. His brother Luke is Princeton’s starting 197-pound wrestler.

Tonight, the Pittsburgh Panthers received an important commitment from the #43 overall wrestler in the Class of 2022, Mac Stout (Mt. Lebanon, PA). Stout, a 2020 PIAA AAA state runner-up, did not compete in the 2021 postseason after suffering an injury at the Powerade Tournament. Stout will follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Kellan, who was a 2019 national qualifier for the Panthers at 197 lbs. Mac projects at the same weight class, as well. They also have a brother, Luke, that is set to compete at 197 lbs for Princeton.
