03/14/21 - QB Kenny Pickett, rSr/2022, Pittsburgh

Many factors led quarterback Kenny Pickett back to Pitt for a fifth season. Among them is his relationship with Mark Whipple, who enters his third season at Pitt as the longest-tenured offensive coordinator under coach Pat Narduzzi. "Coach Whipple is like family to me. If he wasn't coming back here, I wouldn't have come back," Pickett said Friday as Pitt made final preparations for the start of spring drills Sunday. "There's a lot of unfinished business. He's a competitor just like I am." He also seriously considered his relationship with teammates and familiarity with the program. He was first introduced to Pitt four years ago when he left Ocean Township (N.J.) High School a half-year early to enroll. "If I didn't love it here so much, it would have been a lot easier to leave, given the position I was in. It was a win-win either way," he said.

Said senior defensive end Deslin Alexandre, who enrolled with Pickett in January, 2017: "He's the heart of this team." Just as important - perhaps, moreso - is Pickett's desire to prove he's a better quarterback than what others might think. "Very close," he said when asked how close he was to declaring for the NFL Draft. "I took my time with it. "Everyone had the idea that I was declaring (for the draft). My friends back home were the only ones who knew I was making a decision because I was stressed about it." - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
