CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It’s ACC Kickoff week, which is a fancy way of saying that the league’s media representatives have gathered here in North Carolina to get a head start on our football coverage for the 2018 season.

As part of the festivities, it’s the first crack at taking a look at the 2018 media guides, Pitt’s included. Here’s some of the changes in Pitt’s roster and depth chart for the upcoming season.

CLASS OF 2018

It seems that the on-campus arrival of the incoming class was drama-free, as all 17 freshmen and both transfers are listed on the roster. There’s always still time for things to go sideways, but it seems as if the seemingly inevitable summer eligibility/enrollment scramble has passed by the Panthers.
Here are the listed uniform numbers, heights and weights for Pitt’s newest players.

Jim Medure 51 > 81

Additionally, Medure changed from defense to offense as a tight end. Fellow walk-on defensive lineman Julian Desire has left the program.

DEPTH CHART

The media guide comes with the first version of a 2018 depth chart. There’s obviously a lot that can change over the next month and a half, but here’s how the things would shake out if the Panthers had to line up to face an opponent this afternoon.
