Just hours after Baby Gronk flipped his commitment to South Carolina, the viral youth football player has once again changed his mind, this time to Pittsburgh.

Madden San Miguel, better known as Baby Gronk, announced on social media that he has "committed" to play for Pitt and posted a screenshot of a direct message he allegedly received from head coach Pat Narduzzi.

It's getting increasingly hard to keep track of how many schools Baby Gronk has committed to at this point, but he has at least given pledges to Pitt, South Carolina, Texas, USC, Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Nebraska since May 28.

While Baby Gronk's social media account has claimed the 11-year-old has committed to countless schools, those pledges hold very little weight. Based on On3's database, Baby Gronk has yet to receive any collegiate offers.

What is more likely is that Baby Gronk's representatives—namely his father, Jake San Miguel—are posting the pledges to continue promoting his social media accounts, which have a following of more than 500,000 across Instagram and X.

Could Baby Gronk find himself landing some collegiate offers down the road? It seems possible given how seriously he seems to take football. But for now, it's probably best to take his commitments with a grain of salt, to say the least.
