Pitt Football Offers Transfer Defensive Back

It’s been a surprisingly quiet day for Pitt football in terms of news but changed a bit tonight.

The Panthers coaching staff have extended an offer to Western Kentucky transfer defensive back Upton Stouts. The native of Houston, Texas entered into the NCAA transfer portal three days ago.

Pat Narduzzi and Pitt were the first school to offer Stout, who has also received offers from Washington State, Memphis, Houston, Cincinnati and Ole Miss.

Regardless of if star cornerback MJ Devonshire returns or not, Pitt is still in need of an established cornerback and Stout would be an ideal addition. Both Marquise Williams and A.J. Woods are both graduating.
