We are getting close to the beginning of Pitt’s fall camp as players report to Pitt on Aug 7th and on Aug 8th the fun begins. That is only 11 days from now so I thought I’d take a day or two per week from now until Sept 2nd to peel back the curtain on some of the lesser known players who we’ll see out on the field this season. We’ll call these articles “Camp Profiles”.
I’ll concentrate on Panthers in the two-deep who we recognize, and may even know a little about, but who are not in the glare of the spotlight. I firmly believe that star players are fun to watch but the less heralded young men actually win the ball games.
James Conner might make a nice 20 yard run to give us the winning points late in the 4th quarter but it is the others who grind it out every play to get us within striking distance of the win. Those players are the guys who usually don’t get much playing time until their junior or senior years but then really start to contribute.
So I’m crossing these more well-known players off this profiling list: Conner, Peterman, Bisnowaty, Ollison, Johnson and Orndoff on offense and Price, Soto, Hendrix (we’ve discussed his background already on here), Bradley, Whitehead, and Galambos on defense.
