Transfer QB Commits to Pitt Football
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers added a fourth scholarship quarterback to their roster this week. Derek Kyler, a graduate transfer from Dartmouth College who took an official visit to Pitt on Tuesday, committed to the Panthers on Wednesday morning and made a public announcement later that day.
Kyler, who spent four years at Dartmouth, completed 69% of his passes for 4,409 yards and 42 touchdowns to just six interceptions over 30 games in a Big Green uniform. He owns the Dartmouth record for career completion percentage and earned second-team All-Ivy League honors from Phil Steele in 2018.
Kyler has one year of eligibility left and will spend it in a Pitt quarterback room that already features three scholarship signal-callers. USC transfer Kedon Slovis and veteran Panther Nick Patti are assumed to be the front runners for the starting job and sophomore Nate Yarnell fell in behind those two.
