Pitt Freshman DE Sincere Edwards Entering Transfer Portal
For the second year in a row, Pitt has lost a freshman defensive lineman to the NCAA transfer portal.
Last year, it was Samuel Okunlola who joined Deion Sanders at Colorado. This morning, multiple outlets are reporting that Sincere Edwards has made the decision to leave Pitt.
The 6-foot-2, 245-pound former four-star recruit from Apopka, Fla. was one of a handful of Pitt freshmen who burned their redshirts by playing in more than four games.
As part of Pitt’s defensive end rotation, Edwards collected 17 tackles and three sacks. Make no mistake about it, this is a loss for Pitt but it’s college football in 2024.
Considering his size, athletic ability and potential to get to the quarterback, expect Edwards to get major interest.

Taking a look at the defensive end depth chart, Pitt will enter 2025 with Jimmy Scott and Chief Borders (and likely Nate Temple) as the only experienced defensive ends. The coaching staff will certainly dip into the transfer portal to add to the room, and there’s potential for young players to rise through the ranks.
why would want to play for Narduzzie
Why would you not want to use proper English or spell correctly… why would your dad not pull out.. why would your mom not use a coat hanger ….
Wow!
I’m going be taking my 4 seat club season ticket package and enter the portal as well. Pitt is not serious about football.
Instead, close your mouth OR open your wallet. Without cash, this is pitt’s future. Deal with it.
Wow, 4 season tickets in the club section. Dude that’s like $3500. Let’s not pretend like that’s going to hurt pitt.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
Smart move.
A whole lot more starter players are staying than those leaving. Pitt has done well keeping more players than most teams.
Screw these divas. I am beginning to hate college sports.
Dont blame him one bit.. The is is a losing program that going absolutely nowhere.The administration isnt serious about the program so why stay??
This kid was clearly Pitt’s best DE. Above and beyond that loser Matlack. Nate Temple is another loser. This kid should have been on the field for 70% of the defensive Stats. Nard doesn’t want these young talented kids to get big heads, or too much love. He sits them down and makes them “wait their turn”. Matlack was a loser from day one but Nard loved him. Same with Keye Thompson. And for that matter Brandon George. All good kids but not very mobile players. Because they’re older they get to play. Joke. Lost a great player today.
They are great at practice! Everyone you mention doesn’t have a second gear and therefore can’t hang with those that do in games – except in practice which is 1/2 speed. Narduzzi plays the players like himself, lesser talent but great at practice.Therefore he will always be average or lower.
H2P!!!
Agree with George Mac it is best
The exodus has begun. At least they managed to keep a few good ones so far. Now we’ll replace the outgoing players with dudes from Bunghole Tech.
what a disaster….nobody wants to come here and nobody wants to stay…scribble that in your pad dooz
Our top players have all announced they are staying. Obviously Pitt has opened the wallet.
Occasionally a player thinks he is worth more than Pitt can afford. Pitt has to protect some financial integrity. Cant pay 500k to every guy who demands it.
I wonder if the decision to enter the portal was made before yesterday’s game and he wanted to put some more on tape or did he realize afterward what a cf the program is and decided to get while the getting is good.
Pitt needs a new Coach, Narduzzi is behind the times, playing not lose instead of playing to win. Hey Coach the season is over, have faith in your players.
Definitely a loss. But overall Pitt is hanging on to most top players. We will lose some.
Tennessee, a playoff team with a $15million payroll had every WR (all seven) hit the portal.
