SHARON, Pa. -- In the continuation of the build-up to the start of Pitt's football camp on Monday, we are going to break down the second of the Panthers' position groups by going over their corps of linebackers.
Pitt had the No. 4 scoring defense and No. 5 total defense in the Atlantic Coast Conference last season. The Panthers also drew in the fourth-best red zone defense in the league as opponents converted on 76.6% of chances.
The unit is moving on without honorable mention All-ACC selection John Petrishen, who was third on the team with 74 and added 7.
