Pitt All 105: QB Kenny Pickett

Published

on

All 105 is a Pittsburgh Sports Now series profiling each of the 105 members of Pitt’s 2019 training camp roster.

8 • Kenny Pickett, junior quarterback

Last year: Started all 14 games as a sophomore after winning the role late in his freshman season.

Stats: Finished with 180 completions on 310 attempts (58.1%) for 1,969 yards and seven touchdowns. Also ran for 220 yards on 117 carries and scored three touchdowns.

Accolades, Highlights: 

Camp outlook: Almost everything is new for the Pitt offense under Mark Whipple, except for Pickett, who remains as the top passer. He’ll have to help with the new install and make sure he and Pitt’s receivers are on the same page.

Projected role: Pickett will almost assuredly start the season as Pitt’s No. 1 quarterback, but with a new offense and a new offensive coordinator, he’ll have to continue to prove he belongs in the role.
