Pitt Football Training Camp: Despite talent, Panthers' freshmen running backs could redshirt

Related Topics: Redshirt

Pitt's football team added two quality freshmen running backs to the roster this fall in four-star recruit A.J. Davis and three-star Todd Sibley, who was formerly an Ohio State commit. Both could probably play for any number of programs this year and they may get on the field for the Panthers this year.

But with Pitt pretty deep at the position even despite the loss of James Conner, there's no guarantee they'll get much playing time. Even a redshirt could be in the works, depending on the Panthers' need, according to position coach Andre Powell.

"In a perfect world, you like to save those guys, but we get guys ready to play," said Powell.
