Former Pitt defensive end Naquan Brown entered the NCAA transfer portal on Jan. 12, and on Wednesday evening, he announced that be would head closer to home to play at the FCS level for Norfolk State.
Brown came to Pitt in 2021 as a consensus four-star recruit out of Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He initially committed to LSU in July 2020 before flipping to Pitt in December of the same year. However, Brown did not see the field as a true freshman during the 2021 season, and he made the decision to move on to a different program.
