Die-Hards: Keeping Track of Pitt Scholarship Count

It was inevitable that more than a few Pitt Panthers would enter the transfer portal this spring.

Pitt exited the spring with a somewhat bloated roster. It was well over the 85-scholarship limit, and with the desire to actually supplement the roster before summer camp, some guys needed to go. There have been a couple of unsurprising portal entrants and a couple of surprise ones, too.

That’s the nature of college football in the NIL era.

The transfer portal re-opened on April 16 and closed on April 30, but that doesn’t mean a player cannot commit following the window closing. Even after the portal closes on April 30 (and there will be plenty of movement until then), the Pitt roster will not be finalized.
