Pitt QB to return

December 16, 2020

Pitt QB to return … Pittsburgh QB Kenny Pickett reportedly has decided to take advantage of the NCAA’s special regulation this year that allows players to reclaim their year of eligibility and announced late Tuesday night he will return to school in 2021. Pickett had participated in Pitt’s senior day late last month suggesting that he was moving on, but he apparently had a change of heart. If Pickett had stayed in the draft he would have been considered to be a marginal late-round prospect; this past season, he passed for just over 2,400 yards with 13 TDs versus 9 interceptions in nine games for the 6-5 Panthers.
