Pitt OT Meets With Steelers at NFL Combine
PITTSBURGH -- A former Pitt Panthers offensive tackle could be staying in the Steel City to start his NFL career.
Matt Goncalves, a starting offensive lineman for the Panthers for two seasons, said he met informally with the Steelers at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana this week.
Goncalves was Pitt's lone representative on the Preseason All-ACC First-Team but made it just three games into his final season as a Panther before suffering a season-ending injury. He stuck with the team through the end of the season to help an offensive line unit riddled with injuries survive and improve during a difficult season.
Goncalves leaves Pitt after making 24 total starts at tackle, the vast majority of which came over the last two seasons, when he helped push the Panthers to an ACC Championship and 20 wins from 2021 to 2022. He also earned third-team All-ACC honors after the 2022 campaign.
