We’ll take a lead for some of the discussions of the last week or so and discuss the Pitt QB situation, both present, future and some past. I said in a comment “Its been a long time since Pitt had a star QB” and it truly has – certainly none in the last decade and that’s an eternity in college ball when rosters and starting lineups changes regularly.
Top 10 QB Commitments Since 2010
2016: Thomas MacVittie: Only 1 interception in 211 attempts his SR HS season
2015: Ben DiNucci: Redshirted this season as a freshman; Alex Hornibrook: Verbally committed to Pitt, signed with Wisconsin
2014: Adam Bertke: Redshirt freshman, never played, transferred out; Wade Freebeck: Verbally committed to Pitt, signed with Vanderbilt
2013: Tra’Von Chapman: Attended spring drills, dismissed after criminal charges, backup at Akron
2012: Chad Voytik: Started in 2014, lost starting job and transferred to Arkansas State
2011: Trey Anderson: Didn’t join team until second week of fall camp, graduated from Pitt as a career backup
2010: Anthony Gonzalez: Played a few snaps at quarterback, two-year starter at linebacker; Mark Myers: Transferred as a rsJR to John Carroll College
Man – that transfer record is brutal especially when there weren’t any star QBs in front of all those kids who transferred out before they had a chance to show what they could do after a couple year in the program.
