In a rather long week of bad news for Pitt, they get a bit more. RS Junior OL Brian O’Neill announced today that he will forgo his final year of eligibility in a statement released by Pitt:
After careful consideration over the last few weeks, I have decided to enter the 2018 NFL draft. I do not take this decision lightly; therefore, I took an extensive amount of time discussing the situation with my family and coaches. Ultimately, I believe this is the best course of action to achieve my ultimate goal.
Looking back on the past four years, I consider myself one of the luckiest guys in the world.
