Pitt fell to Michigan State 31-21 in the Peach Bowl on Thursday, but on Friday, it took a step toward improvement at Michigan State’s expense, as Michael Dowell announced that he would transfer from Michigan State to Pitt.
“No need in running it back if you’re gonna just do the same dang thing over and over again when you lose,” Dowell wrote in a message posted on Twitter. “See a problem, solve a problem, get back to business.”
The safety was a member of a Michigan State secondary that ranked last in the nation in pass defense in 2021, conceding 324.
