Pitt wide receiver John Vardzel entered the NCAA transfer portal on Thursday, bringing an end to a four-year stint with the team. The former walk-on was placed on scholarship in 2020, but he spent his entire Pitt career as a reserve and special teams player.
“I would like to thank Coach Narduzzi, my teammates and the rest if the coaching staff at the University of Pittsburgh,” Vardzel said in a Twitter post. “After careful consideration and constant prayer, I have decided to enter the transfer portal as a grad transfer with two years of eligibility remaining.
