The regular season has been over for Pitt for a while now and true freshman Jordan Whitehead continues to add accolades for his work this year. This week, he was named to The Sporting News' Freshman All-American Team.
Whitehead was previously named to the USA Today All-American Team. He was also the ACC's Defensive Rookie of the Year as well as the Conference's Overall Rookie of the Year. In addition, he was also honored on the ACC's All-Conference Third Team.
As a true freshman, Whitehead not only started for the Panthers at safety but was also the team's leading tackler.
