I had to go back and check about the name. Andrew Devlin — once a local top TE recruit Pitt wanted but chose Virgina — is apparently desirous of transferring to Pitt (behind subs. paywall).
Devlin would be a redshirt sophomore at Virginia. While he played in all 12 games last year, he had a total of only 3 catches. Ultimately, UVa moved him to defensive end.
If he is actually transferring to Pitt, I’m assuming it will be to play TE. Pitt seems rather set at DE, plus he doesn’t strike me as the kind of athlete Coach Wannstedt wants at that spot. At TE, there would be opportunities after sitting out as a transfer. With Dickerson and Byham graduating, the main competition would be Mike Cruz and Brock DeCicco.
Anyway, GREAT looking Mock Draft from Chad Ford now that the lottery order is set:
Two Pitt first rounders would be PHENOMENAL!
Larmond has ties Shakim Phillips, who Pitt is recruiting extremely hard. As a receiver, he was pretty impressive in high school and has good size and speed. If you watched the Music City Bowl this past season, he caught a pass and took it over half the length of the field for a TD. He is a good pickup for many reasons.
I would assume its to play TE too. I didn’t read anywhere why he is transferring, but on his bio on UVA’s website it says he was playing TE, even started a game last year and then was moved to DE late in the season. It sounds like he maybe isn’t to thrilled to be playing DE and sees himself more as a TE.
