The awards and accolades keep rolling in for new Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Kenny Pickett.
Following a magical run to an ACC championship and a Heisman Trophy finalist in a year in which he threw for 4,319 yards, 42 touchdowns and just seven interceptions as the Pitt Panthers finished 11-3 and ranked 13th in the final Associated Press pole of the season, Pickett was named the ACC’s Anthony J. McKelvin Male Athlete of the Year award winner, becoming the first Pitt student-athlete — male or female — to win the award in ACC history.
Pickett’s passing yardage, passing touchdowns, total TDs and completions all marked Pitt season records.
