12/27/20 - Marcus Minor, rSr/2023, Pittsburgh, 6-4, 310 (DS#28 OG) + More +

Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi didn't wait long to start reconstructing his roster, landing offensive lineman Marcus Minor on Thursday as a graduate transfer from Maryland. Minor, who has two years of eligibility, reported his verbal commitment on Twitter. Minor, 6-foot-4, 310 pounds, has played right tackle and right guard at Maryland. He played guard this season, but he was the Terrapins starting right tackle for 10 games in 2019. He also started one game in 2017 and three in 2018. - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

12/16/20 - Kenny Pickett, rSr/2022, Pittsburgh, 6-3, 219 (DS#1 QB) + More +

Pittsburgh's season is over. Quarterback Kenny Pickett's college career is not. The senior announced late Tuesday night he will return in 2021. Pickett had participated in Pitt's Senior Day festivities against Virginia Tech last month, an indication he was going to enter the NFL draft. Apparently not. "One more year," Pickett tweeted. Pickett passed for 2,408 yards with 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions this season for the Panthers (6-5, 5-5). He missed two games with an ankle injury - both losses - and was up and down when he returned.

Pickett threw for 404 yards in a win over the Hokies but tossed four interceptions in a loss to Clemson before finishing with a touchdown and a pick in a season-ending 34-17 victory over Georgia Tech. The Panthers figured to be in the bowl mix after winning three of their final four games but voted to not participate in the postseason, a decision coach Pat Narduzzi supported after the team spent months playing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pickett has passed for 7,984 yards with 39 touchdowns and 25 interceptions since taking over as the starter late in the 2017 season. He is fifth on the school's all-time yards passing list and fourth on the total yardage list, passing Hall of Famer Dan Marino late in the season. - AP College Football

2020 PATRICK MANNELLY AWARD SEMIFINALIST: Cal Adomitis, Pittsburgh,...Adomitis, a Pittsburgh native and product of Pittsburgh Central Catholic High School, has excelled in his long-snapping duties for the Panthers for four consecutive seasons. He combines precision snapping with excellent effort in coverage, resulting in 11 career tackles on opposing punt returns. When Pitt faces Georgia Tech in its regular-season finale on Thursday night in Atlanta, Adomitis is expected to make his 50th consecutive appearance for the Panthers.

A former walk-on, Adomitis won the starting long snapper job for the Panthers as a true freshman in 2017 and earned a football scholarship ahead of the 2018 season. Since then, his snapping consistency on both placements and punts, along with his outstanding coverage abilities, have resulted in him becoming a popular and respected figure amongst his teammates, coaches and Pitt fans. - Pittsburgh Football
