Just hours after Michigan State Spartans star running back Kenneth Walker III announced he would forgo the Peach Bowl to focus on preparing for the 2022 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Panthers Heisman finalist starting quarterback Kenny Pickett followed suit.
Pickett played for five-years at Pittsburgh. He finishes his collegiate career with every major passing record — yards, touchdowns and completions, both all-time and in a single-season — in Pitt history. The native of Oakhurst, New Jersey tallied 4,319 passing yards and 42 touchdowns in 2021.
