Pitt has suffered its first offensive loss to the transfer portal.
Terrence Moore is entering the transfer portal after four seasons with the Panthers, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports reported. Moore, who finished the 2023 season as the starting center, lost the job to Lyndon Cooper over the offseason.
Moore is the second Pitt player to enter the transfer portal this offseason, following Nahki Johnson, who announced his intentions to enter on Thanksgiving.
He initially committed to Pitt as a three-star recruit out of Massillon, Ohio in the class of 2021. The 6-foot-5, 305-pound interior lineman committed to the Panthers over a long list of offers.
Moore played in 39 games for the Panthers, mainly in a depth role, and recorded 10 starts. He made all but one of those starts last season.
Moore recorded 119 snaps this season, all at center. He entered the loss to Clemson after Cooper went down and struggled against the Tigers, but he started every snap at Boston College — allowing just one pressure and one hurry.
“Terrence getting his first start at center,” Narduzzi said last week. “It’s one thing after another and you continue to try to plug up holes. Gotta somehow get more depth in the future and stay healthy. We’ve got to stay healthy.”
Pitt will look to hit the transfer portal hard this offseason, especially on the offensive and defensive lines. Cooper, Ryan Baer and BJ Williams are all set to return next season, but the Panthers need help. Two or three offensive line targets, on the interior and outside, will likely be needed.
