Pat Narduzzi and the Pitt staff received some positive news on Friday, as Pitt defensive end Deslin Alexandre announced that he would return for the 2022 season. The return of Alexandre for one more year should provide Pitt with experience and size on its defensive line as younger players continue to develop.
“This past year has given me the chance to lead and grow both on and off the field,” Alexandre said in a Twitter post. “After many thoughts and prayers, I’ve decided to use my last year of eligibility and continue my athletic and academic career in Pittsburgh.
