Pitt WR Zion Fowler Wants Penn State Rivarly Back
PITTSBURGH -- Fans aren't the only ones who want to see the Pitt Panthers and Penn State Nittany Lions renew their now dormant rivalry on the gridiron.
Incoming freshman Zion Fowler, a three-star wide receiver recruit from New Jersey who signed with the Panthers in December, was upset Penn State chose to add West Virginia to their schedule instead of Pitt and made his feelings known on Twitter.
Pitt and Penn State haven't played football against one another since 2019, when the Panthers fell 17-10 in the 100th all-time meeting at Beaver Stadium in Happy Valley. The Nittany Lions won three of four in a short series that spanned 2016 to 2019 and renewed the rivalry after a 15-year absence.
There are currently no plans for the two schools to meet in the near future. Pitt already has a non-conference schedule occupied primarily by Cincinnati, West Virginia and Wisconsin with contests against Notre Dame sprinkled in over various years. Meanwhile, Penn State has out-of-conference games against the Mountaineers, Syracuse, Villanova, Temple and Nevada, highlighting their future schedules.
