Pitt Positional OutlookTHE OFFENSEQUARTERBACKSSenior Nathan Peterman returns as Pitt’s starting quar-terback after throwing for 2,287 yards and 20 touch-downs with eight interceptions last year. Peterman joined the Panthers in 2015 as a graduate transfer from Tennes-see and fully seized the starting job by the third game of the season. He went on to rank second in the ACC in com-pletion percentage (61.5%), third in touchdown passes and fourth in passing efficiency (138.57). Peterman was especially effective in ACC play, throwing 15 touchdowns against just one interception in eight con-ference contests. Behind Peterman are four players who are yet to take a game snap at Pitt: senior Manny Stocker, sophomore Adam Bertke and redshirt freshmen Ben DiNucci and Ryan Adzima. Stocker does own collegiate game experi-ence at quarterback, seeing limited action at NC State (2012) and UT Martin (2014). He worked at wide receiver for Pitt in 2015. The Panthers signed one quarterback in their 2016 recruiting class, Thomas MacVittie out of Ohio’s famed Moeller High School. Rated the nation’s No. 8 pro-style quarterback by 247Sports, MacVittie will join Pitt for Au-gust training camp.

RUNNING BACKSQadree Ollison began his redshirt freshman season as Pitt’s third-string tailback. He finished it as the ACC’s Of-fensive Rookie of the Year after rushing for 1,121 yards and 11 touchdowns. Ollison was thrust into a prominent role when original starter James Conner sustained a season-ending knee injury in the opener against Youngstown State. Ollison quickly established himself as Pitt’s primary back—rush-ing for 207 yards in just one half of play against YSU—and averaged 5.3 yards per carry on the year. A tailback tandem of Conner and Ollison would make for a potentially devastating rushing attack. Conner was an All-American and the ACC Player of the Year as a sopho-more in 2014, rushing for 1,765 yards and 26 touchdowns. Conner’s status for 2016 is yet to be determined. In ad-dition to his knee rehabilitation, he announced in Decem-ber that he had been diagnosed with cancer. While Conner will not be fully active in Pitt's spring drills, he has contin-ued to surprise and inspire with his vigorous participation in offseason workouts. Junior Rachid Ibrahim also seeks a healthy return after missing all of 2015 due to a torn Achilles. Ibrahim aver-aged 6.7 yards per carry his initial two seasons (60 carries for 399 yards) while serving as Pitt’s change-of-pace back. Pitt’s depleted backfield depth opened the door for Darrin Hall to make immediate contributions as a true freshman. Hall emerged as the top backup and rushed for 257 yards and two touchdowns.

Mid-year enrollee Chawntez Moss will participate in spring drills after rushing for more than 3,000 yards over his final two seasons at Ohio’s Bedford High School. Pitt returns its top fullback in sophomore George Aston. A highly physical blocker, Aston proved he could also make plays with the ball in his hands, catching two touchdowns last year. Junior letterman Colton Lively will also compete for time.

WIDE RECEIVERSGone is the most productive receiver in school history, Tyler Boyd, who bypassed his final season for the NFL Draft. Boyd finished as Pitt’s all-time leader in both recep-tions (254) and receiving yards (3,361). Eight returning lettermen will work to fill the void, led by senior Dontez Ford, who started opposite Boyd last season. Ford ranked third in the ACC with an average of 19.4 yards per catch. He totaled 26 receptions for 505 yards and two scores. Junior Zach Challingsworth emerged as the Panthers’ third receiver last season, totaling 12 catches for 171 yards (14.2 avg.) and a touchdown. Junior Jester Weah has lettered as a reserve the past two years. Pitt could also find playmakers within a talent-ed trio of sophomores: Quadree Henderson, Tre Tipton and Elijah Zeise. Senior letterman Chris Wuestner eyes a return to the field after missing all of last year due to injury. Sopho-mores Kellen McAlone, a special teams letterman, and Jaquaun Davidson will also vie for time. Additional competition will come from sophomore Ra-fael Araujo-Lopes, redshirt freshman Gentry Ivery and junior Mark Bernsdorff.

Quarterback Nate Peterman threw for 2,287 yards and 20 touchdowns as a junior in 2015.

Pitt Positional OutlookTIGHT ENDSPitt lost a four-year fixture at tight end, J. P. Holtz, to gradu-ation. Easing that departure is the return of senior starter Scott Orndoff, who enjoyed career production last season. Orndoff finished second on the team with five touch-down catches. He totaled 13 receptions for 244 yards overall (18.8 avg.). Orndoff will be complemented by an-other veteran performer, senior Jaymar Parrish, who has played in every single game the past three years as a tight end, H-back or fullback. Juniors Devon Edwards and Zach Poker, a converted defensive end, will provide depth and competition. Junior Nathan Bossory and redshirt freshman DeAndre Schi-fino are also in the mix. The Panthers added a talented newcomer with the Janu-ary enrollment of Chris Clark, a transfer from UCLA. Clark is a former five-star prospect who was rated the nation’s No. 1 tight end as a senior at Avon Old Farms (Conn.) School in 2014-15. OFFENSIVE LINEPitt welcomes back one of its most experienced offensive lines in recent memory. Four starters return, giving this unit an optimistic outlook for 2016. Headlining the list of returnees are a pair of senior All-ACC performers in tackle Adam Bisnowaty and guard Dorian Johnson. Manning the left side of the line, Bis-nowaty and Johnson have helped produce a 1,000-yard rusher each of the past two seasons. Another player with All-ACC potential is junior Alex Officer. A starter at right guard last year, he will move to center in 2016 to replace the graduated Artie Rowell. Offi-cer was Pitt’s starting center in 2014 when Rowell missed the majority of the season due to injury. The Panthers’ other returning starter is sophomore Brian O’Neill at right tackle. Initially a tight end, O’Neill shifted to tackle prior to training camp to fortify a posi-tion that was struck by injuries. Bulking up more than 30 pounds, he made an impressive transition in seizing the starting job. Junior Jaryd Jones-Smith was a projected starter at tackle last year before injuring his knee during the offsea-son. With a healthy return, Jones-Smith can make Pitt’s seasoned offensive front even deeper. He was a significant contributor as a redshirt freshman in 2014. Junior lettermen Carson Baker and Aaron Reese will provide experienced competition at the tackle spots, while redshirt freshmen Tony Pilato and Aaron Britton enter their first active seasons. Leading candidates to start at right guard are sopho-more lettermen Alex Bookser and Mike Herndon. Also vying for time at guard will be senior John Guy, sopho-more Mike Grimm and redshirt freshmen Kyle Benbrook and Ryan Podgorski.

Providing depth at center will be redshirt freshman Alex Paulina, sophomore Connor Dintino, a converted defensive lineman, and sophomore Alex Galiyas.

THE DEFENSE DEFENSIVE LINEPitt returns a viable All-America candidate at defensive end in senior Ejuan Price. Limited to six games the prior three seasons due to injuries, Price emerged in 2015 as one of the nation’s most disruptive defensive players, col-lecting 19.5 TFLs and 11.5 sacks. Competing behind Price at the “flash” end will be sopho-more letterman James Folston and junior Allen Edwards, a redshirt last season after transferring from Dean (Mass.) College. At rush end, junior Rori Blair returns after starting 10 games a year ago. Blair will be challenged by sophomore Dewayne Hendrix, a highly regarded transfer from Ten-nessee who sat out last season. Additionally, freshman Patrick Jones II enrolled in January after earning status as Virginia’s No. 1 defensive end prospect. The interior front will undergo some retooling with the graduation of four-year contributors Darryl Render and Khaynin Mosley-Smith. However, Pitt is not without sig-nificant returning experience at the two tackle spots. Senior Tyrique Jarrett was a co-starter at nose tackle last year and should be poised for his finest season yet. Jarrett will be pushed by junior Justin Moody, who let-tered the past two years as a reserve. Providing depth at the nose will be redshirt freshman Calvin Hamilton.

Tailback Qadree Ollison rushed for 1,121 yards and was named the ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Pitt Positional OutlookVying for the starting assignment at defensive tackle will be junior Jeremiah Taleni and senior Shakir Soto, who will shift inside after being a prominent contributor at end the past three seasons. Sophomore Shane Roy and junior Andrew Ungerman will also compete for time.

LINEBACKERSMatt Galambos enters his third season as Pitt’s starting middle linebacker and could be poised for an all-star se-nior year. Last season he compiled 88 tackles, 10 TFLs and five sacks, all career bests. Junior Quintin Wirginis served as Galambos’ top backup last year and provides veteran depth. Also competing at “Mike” linebacker are redshirt freshman Jim Medure and sophomore Dom Cuono. The Panthers have a veteran combination at Money line-backer in seniors Mike Caprara and Bam Bradley. Capr-ara totaled 49 tackles, 10.5 TFLs and five sacks as the pri-mary starter last year. Bradley had 33 stops with five TFLs and a sack. Depth will come from redshirt freshmen Sal-eem Brightwell and Erik Sellers as well as sophomore Brian Popp. Pitt will need to replace graduated All-ACC performer Nicholas Grigsby at the Star position. Sophomores Jalen Williams and Oluwaseun Idowu will transition from safety to compete for the starting job. Redshirt freshman Anthony McKee and junior Nico Lodovico will also com-pete for time.

SECONDARYPitt welcomes back a veteran nucleus in its secondary. At strong safety, Jordan Whitehead was one of college football’s high-impact newcomers last year. Whitehead led the Panthers with 109 stops, the most by a true freshman in school history. He was named the ACC’s Rookie of the Year, becoming the first defensive player to earn that hon-or in nearly two decades. Sophomore Dennis Briggs will provide competitive depth behind Whitehead after lettering as a corner last season. Also in the mix at the strong spot will be redshirt freshman Rimoni Dorsey and junior Rob Boatright. Pitt has a luxury at free safety with the return of seniors Reggie Mitchell and Terrish Webb. Both players are proven commodities from both an experience and play-making standpoint. Also competing at the free will be red-shirt freshman Jay Stocker. At boundary cornerback, junior Avonte Maddox led Pitt with three interceptions and 12 pass breakups last year. Maddox has played in every game the past two seasons, making 19 consecutive starts. Senior Ryan Lewis, a three-year letterman, provides veteran depth. At field corner, Lafayette Pitts is gone after making an in-credible 51 starts during his career. Sophomore Phillipie Motley will look to fill the void after lettering as a backup last season. Motley will contend with a pair of redshirt freshmen, Malik Henderson and Dane Jackson.

THE SPECIAL TEAMSPitt boasts a proven specialist duo in senior kicker Chris Blewitt and junior punter Ryan Winslow. Blewitt has handled every placekick for Pitt the past three seasons. He led the Panthers in scoring last year with 87 points, converting 15-of-23 field goals (65%) and 42-of-43 extra points (97%). Blewitt is on the cusp of be-coming Pitt’s all-time leading kick scorer, needing just two points to eclipse Carson Long’s 40-year-old school record of 268. As a second-year starter, Winslow averaged a career-best 41.1 yards per punt last season. He had 21 punts downed inside the 20-yard line. Sophomore Alec Schuster and redshirt freshman Tristan Cunha will provide depth at kicker. Sophomore Nick Goldsmith will serve as the top reserve at punter. Senior Pat Quirin is back as Pitt's primary long snapper. He will be backed up by redshirt freshman Jake Knight. Quadree Henderson and Avonte Maddox could make Pitt very potent in the return game. As a freshman last sea-son, Henderson led the team with 504 yards on 18 kick-off returns, a 28.0-yard average. His 100-yard return for a touchdown in the Military Bowl against Navy marked the Panthers’ longest in 25 years. Maddox can be an asset as both a kick and punt return-er. He averaged 30.3 yards on six kick returns (182 yards) last season, including an 89-yard TD. Maddox also had 48 yards on eight punt returns (6.0 avg.).

Poised for an all-star senior year, Matt Galambos enters his third season as Pitt's starting middle linebacker.

TEAM NOTESA WINNING REGULAR SEASON

Pitt completed the 2015 regular season with an 8-4 mark after going 6-6 each of the prior four years (2011-14). The Panthers previously finished a regular season above the .500 mark in 2010 when they went 7-5. That 2010 team defeated Kentucky, 27-10, in the BBVA Compass Bowl to finish 8-5 overall—Pitt's last eight-win season prior to the 2015 campaign.

CONFERENCE RECORD MILESTONE The Panthers finished with a 6-2 ACC record and in second place in the Coastal Division. Pitt’s six conference wins are its most ever. The Panthers finished 5-2 in the Big East five sepa-rate times (2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2010).

ON THE ROADPitt finished its 2015 regular-season road schedule with an impressive 5-1 record, its best away mark in seven years. (The 2008 Panthers also went 5-1 on the road en route to a 9-4 over-all mark.) Pitt’s lone road loss in 2015 was to Iowa, 27-24, on a 57-yard field goal as time expired. The Panthers went 4-0 in away games in ACC play, their first undefeated conference road record ever.

TOUGH COMPETITIONPitt’s five losses in 2015 came against teams that went a com-bined 52-15 (.800): Iowa (12-2), North Carolina (11-3), Navy (11-2), Notre Dame (10-3) and Miami (8-5). Four of those teams finished the year ranked in the final Top 25 polls. Iowa finished No. 9/10, Notre Dame was No. 11/12, North Carolina ranked No. 15 and Navy was ranked No. 18.

WINNING THE CLOSE ONES Contrary to prior seasons, Pitt displayed an ability to win the close ones in 2015. The Panthers went 5-3 in games decided by single digits last year. In contrast, Pitt was 1-5 in single-digit contests in 2014.

BLUE & GOLD RALLY CAPSPitt rallied past Syracuse for a 23-20 victory in the Carrier Dome (Oct. 24) after entering the fourth quarter trailing, 17-13. Chris Blewitt provided the winning points when he kicked a 25-yard field goal as time expired. The Syracuse victory marked the first time since 2009 that Pitt rallied to win when facing a fourth-quarter deficit. The Panthers previously had not overcome a deficit in the final period since Dec. 26, 2009, when they defeated North Carolina, 19-17, in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.

700 CLUBPitt’s 26-19 win over Virginia (Oct. 10) marked the 700th victory in program history. The Panthers are one of 23 Bowl Subdivision programs to achieve the 700-win milestone. Only five ACC schools belong to the “700 Club”—Virginia Tech (718), Georgia Tech (714), Syracuse (712), Pitt (704) and Clemson (703)—according to NCAA.org.

127 YEARS AND COUNTINGThe 2016 campaign marks the 127th football season in Pitt his-tory. The Panthers, who played their inaugural season in 1890, have a 704-515-42 all-time record (.575). The program’s rich legacy includes 90 first team All-Americans, 24 College Foot-ball Hall of Famers, eight Pro Football Hall of Famers and nine national championships.

PITT 2015 SENIOR CLASS SMALL BUT MIGHTYPitt had only 11 seniors on its 2015 roster, the sixth fewest amount among Bowl Subdivision teams.

FRESH FACES Four true freshmen played for Pitt last season: running back Darrin Hall, wide receiver Quadree Henderson, wide receiver Tre Tipton and strong safety Jordan Whitehead. Of that select group, Whitehead and Hall earned starting assignments. Whitehead, in fact, was a consensus Freshman All-American after leading the Panthers with 109 tackles. He was also named the 2015 ACC Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year. Whitehead played in all 13 games, starting the final 12 at strong safety. Hall played in 10 games with one start (at Iowa). He finished as the Panthers’ third leading rusher on the year with 257 yards on 64 carries (4.0 avg.) and two touchdowns.

SEASON-ENDING INJURIES Pitt lost three prominent players (either returning starter or significant contributor) to season-ending injuries in 2015: junior running back and 2014 ACC Player of the Year James Conner (knee), junior running back Rachid Ibrahim (Achilles tendon) and sophomore offensive tackle Jaryd Jones-Smith (knee). Conner was injured in the Youngstown State opener, while Ibrahim and Jones-Smith sustained preseason injuries.

Panthers Notes and Anecdotes

10


PITT LIMITS PENALTIES Pitt did an excellent job limiting penalties last season, incurring just 65 for 530 yards. The Panthers ranked among the nation’s best in fewest penalties (24th), fewest penalties per game (5.00 avg., 19th), fewest penalty yards (20th) and fewest penalty yards per game (40.77 avg., 18th). Among ACC teams, Pitt ranked second in fewest penalty yards, fewest penalty yards per game and fewest penalties per game. The Panthers were fourth in the league in fewest total penalties.

OFFENSIVE NOTESBALL SECURITY

The Panthers were exceptional at protecting the football in 2015. Pitt ranked 25th nationally and fourth in the ACC in fewest turn-overs with 16. Pitt quarterbacks threw only nine interceptions, the second fewest in the ACC and the 25th fewest in the country.

PITT FINE ON FOURTH DOWNPitt converted 84.6% on fourth down last season (11 of 13), which topped the ACC and ranked second nationally. The Pan-thers converted 11 consecutive fourth downs to end the season, dating back to their Sept. 19 game at Iowa.

OLLISON ACHIEVES 1,000 YARDSQadree Ollison, the ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year, entered the 2015 season as Pitt’s third-string tailback. Four months later, the redshirt freshman finished as the Panthers’ leading rusher with 1,121 yards and 11 touchdowns on 212 carries (5.3 avg.). He is only the fifth freshman in Pitt history to achieve a 1,000-yard rushing season. Ollison was thrust into a major role following season-ending injuries to James Conner, the 2014 ACC Player of the Year, and Rachid Ibrahim. Ollison averaged 86.2 rushing yards per game, which ranked fourth in the ACC.

RARE FRESHMAN 200-YARD GAMEQadree Ollison is one of just four freshmen at Pitt to rush for 200 yards in a game, joining such luminaries as Tony Dorsett, Curvin Richards and James Conner. Ollison’s 207-yard effort against Youngstown State—in his college debut—ranks fifth (tied) for the most rushing yards by a Pitt freshman. Incredibly, Ollison achieved his 207-yard game on just 16 car-ries (12.9 avg.), all after halftime.

PETERMAN PROFICIENT AGAINST ACC FOESThe performance of quarterback Nate Peterman was key in Pitt earning a 6-2 ACC record and runner-up finish in the Coastal Di-vision. Against league foes, Peterman threw 15 touchdowns and just one interception. His 15 TD passes in ACC games ranked second only to Clemson's Deshaun Watson's 19.

CONNER LIMITED TO ONLY ONE GAME IN 2015Pitt All-America running back James Conner appeared in only one game last season—the opener against Youngstown State—due to a torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee. Con-ner sustained the injury in the second quarter against YSU. Conner entered the 2015 season as one of college football’s most decorated players. He was selected the 2014 ACC Player of the Year after rushing for 1,765 yards and 26 touchdowns. Conner was named to seven postseason All-America squads as a sophomore, including first-team honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He was the first Pitt run-ning back to garner first-team All-America honors in 27 years, dating back to Craig “Ironhead” Heyward in 1987.

He dominated the Cardinals’ offensive front for five sacks, the most by a Bowl Subdivision player last season and one shy of the FBS record.

WHITEHEAD PACES PITT IN TACKLESStrong safety Jordan Whitehead compiled a team-high 109 tack-les last season, the most by a true freshman in school history. Only one other Pitt true frosh has reached 100 tackles, defen-sive lineman Marc Spindler, who had 106 stops in 1987. Prior to Whitehead, the last time a true or redshirt freshman led Pitt in tackles was in 1999 when free safety Ramon Walker, a redshirt frosh, had 131 stops.

BLEWITT COMES UP BIG Placekicker Chris Blewitt provided the winning margin with late field goals in two Pitt victories this season. At Syracuse (Oct. 24), he kicked a 25-yard field goal as time expired for a 23-20 win. It was one of three field goals on the day for Blewitt. A week prior at Georgia Tech (Oct. 17), Blewitt kicked a school-record 56-yard field goal with 1:11 left to lift the Panthers to a 31-28 victory. His game-winning kick broke Pitt’s 21-year-old school record held by David Merrick, who had a 54-yarder against Texas in 1994.

As a rising star in the coaching profession, Pat Narduzzi annually entertained overtures from programs throughout the country. In his eight years at Michigan State, Narduzzi built a reputation as one of college football’s brightest coordinators. He was a perennial entry on various “hot hires” lists forecasting the next crop of impact head coaches. ForNarduzzi,however,becomingaheadcoachwasn’tasimportantasfindingtherightfit.
