Morgan's exit signifies start of new era for Pitt defensive line

This caught me (and, many others) off guard over the weekend:

Thought of by many as a potential superstar piece for the 2023 Pitt defense, defensive end John Morgan III instead will search for a new home to play his final season of eligibility. The redshirt senior has played in parts of four seasons at Pitt after arriving as a three-star recruit out of Maryland in the class of 2018, and will transfer away from the Panthers' program for his final season of eligibility.

A surprising move which came across the wire on Sunday, and one which will have degrees of trickle-down effects on the room for 2023 and beyond.
