Twitter Reaction To USC QB Kedon Slovis Transferring To Pitt

Pitt’s question mark at quarterback for the 2022 season might have just turned into a strength.

Tuesday night, USC transfer Kedon Slovis announced that he was transferring to Pitt and will be immediately eligible for the upcoming season. Slovis arrives at Pitt with two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Back in 2019 as a true freshman, he stepped in for an injured JT Daniels and went on to throw for 3,502 yards, 30 touchdowns and was named PAC-12 Freshman of the Year.

During last season’s COVID year, in 6 games, Slovis passed for 1,921 yards, 17 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. That performance got him named to the PAC-12 First Team.

Despite that success, Slovis fell into a quarterback rotation this season with freshman Jaxon Dart and finished 2021 with 2,153 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

This is a huge development for the 2022 Pitt Panthers and their chances to compete again for an ACC Title.

Amazing what one good year can do for a program. Incredible domino effect. https://t.co/HoOKmN4EWd

Investing in women’s athletics might just pay dividends in football recruiting as well. #CheckersNotChess https://t.co/83Xqt8kHSM

.@Pitt_FB is going to love @Kedonslovis – he has lived with a chip on his shoulder & his teammates have always loved his work ethic. He will be a great fit w/ @CoachDuzzPittFB @cjlquips @PittBorghetti & the special people on campus. And he can spin it. Fired up for him! #h2p https://t.co/D9XxtNefmi

I'll talk about it in my scouting report for Slovis on Locked On Pitt, but one of my favorite things about Slovis is just how point-blank accurate he is.

I have my concerns with Slovis, too, but one thing he's not is inaccurate. With Jordan Addison, that's a huge skill to have.

That’s a big addition for Pitt. An experienced QB who will be throwing to Jordan Addison and company. As I said, Pitt is built to succeed for years to come. #H2P

From Kenny to Kedon, a musical about record-setting QBs.

In November 2019 USC’s Kedon Slovis and ASU’s Joey Yellen had an epic True Freshman QB battle in which they combined for 724 passing yards and 8 TDs.

25 months later, they’re set to be teammates… at the University of Pittsburgh. Wild. pic.twitter.com/PpgBsL1egM

This is well done. Great to see another quality arm coming to the Pitt QB room. He’s right—Pitt should be darn good next year. Fun time to be a fan. https://t.co/OP0BFC0cxE

— Ok, Cool. Hail ‘em (@PittifulFan) December 21, 2021

Pitt’s QB room was deep. Now it’s really deep. And a whole hell of a lot of the team that just won the ACC is coming back, too.

Hail to Pitt!

SOURCE: Former USC QB Kedon Slovis is transferring to Pitt. The 20-year-old QB threw 58 TDs and only 24 picks in three seasons while completing over 68% of his passes. He will inherit a strong supporting cast led by Biletnikoff winner Jordan Addison.
