Pitt is set to hire Tiquan Underwood as its new receivers coach, according to a report from Pete Thamel of ESPN on Sunday. The addition of Underwood addresses the departure of Brennan Marion, Pitt’s last receivers coach who accepted the same position at Texas.
Underwood most recently served as the receivers coach on Greg Schiano’s staff at Rutgers from 2020 to 2021. Prior to that he served as the offensive quality control coach for the Miami Dolphins in 2019. And he began his coaching career as the receivers coach for FCS program Lafayette in Pennsylvania.
With the hire, Pitt lured Underwood away from his alma mater, where he played as a wide receiver from 2005 to 2008.
