  Draft Scout by Conference









  Kedon Slovis didn't transfer from USC to Pitt planning to sit on the bench. He won't. Head coach Pat Narduzzi named Slovis the starting quarterback on Wednesday, ending a months-long competition with Nick Patti for the right to replace Kenny Pickett, who is working next door with the Pittsburgh Steelers after a remarkable final season with the Panthers last fall. Narduzzi praised the way both Patti and Slovis approached their extended job interviews but called Slovis' accuracy the separator. "He's a really, really good passer," Narduzzi said. "We think he can lead us." Slovis, who threw for 58 touchdowns against 24 interceptions in three seasons with the Trojans before leaving last winter, won't get a chance to ease into the gig.

The 17th-ranked Panthers, who won the program's first ACC title in 2021, open at home against West Virginia in the renewal of the "Backyard Brawl" on Sept. 1. It will hardly be Slovis' first go-round in the crucible of a rivalry. He went 2-0 against UCLA and played well in losses to Notre Dame in 2019 and 2020. "I love playing in big games," he said. "I think every player loves playing in big games. You know, from your high school rival to college, I think everyone's favorite games are rivalry games. So yeah, you know, obviously you feel prepared, but more so I just feel excited." - AP College Football
