Pat Narduzzi and the Pitt coaching staff got to work on bolstering their thin linebacking corps on Saturday, as they landed Notre Dame transfer Shayne Simon, a former four-star linebacker who hails from New Jersey.
Simon announced the move on Saturday afternoon, after entering the NCAA transfer portal on Dec. 19. He played in just one game for Notre Dame in 2021, as he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the team’s 41-38 loss to Florida State on Sept. 5. However, prior to that, he made 30 appearances.
During his time in South Bend, Simon served as a reserve and contributed in a timeshare role, primarily playing as an inside linebacker.
