The number eight has been a very impactful number for the Pittsburgh Panthers for the past few seasons, and this season was no different, except for the player wearing it. Instead of the number eight being behind center doing a fake slide or deep pass, the player wearing it is on the complete opposite side of the ball, but Calijah Kancey has kept the respect for that number alive for Pitt fans by putting an oustanding season under his belt. A season so dominant that he was awarded ACC Defensive Player of the Year.
