Pitt sophomore defensive end Sam Williams has decided to leave the program and enter the transfer portal.
Since the end of the regular season on Saturday, Williams is the fourth player to transfer from Pitt (cornerback Khalil Anderson, defensive back Judson Tallandier and wide receiver Jaylon Barden).
”It’s been a blessing to have been a part of Panther Nation and to be able to represent the University of Pittsburgh for 3 years. I want to thank God for helping me grow as an individual. Thank you to Coach Narduzzi and Coach Partridge and the rest of the staff for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the family. I will always value the memories I made with my teammates and coaches. After much consideration and prayer I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 3 years left of eligibility.”
Williams arrived at Pitt from Calvary Christian Academy in Pembroke Pines, Florida and was the first commitment in Pitt’s Class of 2020.
After redshirting his first season, Williams (6-foot-3 235 pounds) did not make it onto the field the last two seasons.

I wonder if these athletes give the same speech when they break-up with their girlfriends. “It’s truly been a blessing having spent a few months with you, but I have decided to take my talents elsewhere. I will be spending my remaining few years of eligibility with as many other females as I can possibly find.”
You forgot “After much prayer and discussion with my family…..”
Same generic statements from all these guys. I swear, there must be some website out there full of quotes for athletes to use when composing their “dear john” tweets.
There is, see Amazon book “Blessed to receive An offer from…” by Kerry M. Sloan.
Wow, I was just kidding about that…not surprised though, explains a lot. Would be refreshing to hear a kid just state the truth for a change.
