  Mason Heintschel threw for 321 yards and connected with Desmond Reid on a pair of touchdown passes as Pittsburgh defeated No. 25 Florida State 34-31 on Saturday.

Tommy Castellanos completed 16 of 23 passes for 245 yards for Florida State, including a pair of touchdowns to Micahi Danzy - 58 yards in the fourth quarter and 33 yards in the second quarter. But after the Seminoles (3-3, 0-3) went ahead 24-21 on Jake Weinberg's 34-yard field-goal attempt, Florida State fumbled at midfield and then went three-and-out. Later, while trailing 34-24, came Castellanos' 58-yarder to Danzy. The Panthers finished with a pair of field goals and then Ja'Kyrian Turner's 3-yard touchdown run capped an eight-play, 75-yard drive with 2:28 left. - Pittsburgh/AP College Football

  02/25/23 - Deslin Alexandre, rSr/2023, Pittsburgh, 6-4, 264 (DS#41 DE) + More +

  After a busy collegiate career on and off the field, former Pitt defensive end Deslin Alexandre was named the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year at a ceremony Thursday night in Frisco, Texas. The honor is annually presented by former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten to the FBS player "who best demonstrates an outstanding record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship." Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford and Oregon offensive lineman Alex Forsyth were the other finalists. "I am honored to present the sixth annual Collegiate Man of the Year to Deslin Alexandre," Witten said. "He is a great leader and a role model for young athletes. He came to the U.S. from Haiti at a young age and overcame a lot of challenges to become a great player and leader, both on campus and in the community. He is a perfect example of what a college student-athlete can be."

Alexandre was a two-time team captain and three-year starter at Pitt. He also was a three-time member of the All-ACC Academic football team. He earned his bachelor's degree in communication and is pursuing an MBA in Pitt's Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business. He worked just as tirelessly in the community, devoting time to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, literacy promotion and Divine Mercy Parish's historic "Red Door" program that provides meals and clothing for the homeless. Perhaps his most impressive contribution was raising $50,000 through his "5th Down Campaign," whose goal was to build awareness and mobilize resources for the impoverished children of Haiti, his native nation. - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

  Pitt senior defensive end Haba Baldonado officially announced that he would be entering the 2023 NFL Draft. Due to the extra year created by COVID, Baldonado had the opportunity to return for another season. In four seasons on Charlie Partridge’s defensive line, Baldonado developed and got better every season, as he finished his Pitt career with 98 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, 15 sacks, a forced fumble, two recoveries and two pass breakups.

He earned All-ACC honors in 2021, when he compiled 41 tackles, nine sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Baldonado has the size, physical tools, football IQ and leadership to be the next Pitt defensive end to make the jump to the next level and succeed. This announcement didn’t come as much of a surprise considering Baldonado had already accepted an invite to play in the East-West Shrine Game. The Feb. 2, 2023 game will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada in front of NFL front office members, coaches and scouts. - Pittsburgh Sports Now

  01/07/23 - Jared Wayne, Sr/2023, Pittsburgh, 6-3, 209 (DS#94 WR) + More +

  Another standout player from Pat Narduzzi's 2022 roster is chasing his dream at the next level. Senior receiver Jared Wayne announced Friday afternoon that he, like many of his teammates, has declared for the 2023 NFL draft. Wayne was a steady presence in Pitt's passing attack last fall, catching 60 balls for 1,063 yards and five touchdowns, earning him second-team All-ACC honors. His 1,000-yard season was just the 11th in program history.

"The process of making this decision hasn't been easy but is ultimately what I feel is best for my career," Wayne said via his social media announcement. "I've had a lifelong goal of playing in the NFL and it's time to pursue that." Wayne's biggest performance in 2022 came against Miami, when he hauled in 11 passes for 205 yards and three scores. He was also a key target for the Panthers in 2021, snagging 47 catches for 658 yards and six touchdowns to help Pitt capture its first ACC title. - Pittsburgh Post Gazette
