Phil Jurkovec Benched for Christian Veilleux as Pitt's QB; Will Transition to TE

Just five games into his career at the University of Pittsburgh and starting quarterback Phil Jurkovec has lost his job and is changing positions.

The sixth-year senior will be making the move to tight end as sophomore Christian Veilleux takes over as the starting signal-caller, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Noah Hiles.

Jurkovec announced that he was transferring to Pitt in December and went 1-4 as a starter.
