Pitt wide receiver Tre Tipton signed with the Panthers earlier this year. Before he takes the field with his new team, he had time to win an award as he was named a Post-Gazette Co-Male Athlete of the Year. Tipton shared the honor with Riley Stapleton of Indiana, PA.
Tipton (6-1, 180 pounds) played quarterback and receiver in football and was one of the WPIAL’s most versatile players, making the Post-Gazette Fabulous 22. He signed with Pitt after rushing for 1,028 yards on 86 carries, completing 31 of 68 passes for 515 yards and catching 25 passes for 475 yards.
