Mike Caprara was overlooked on the recruiting trail. He was overlooked after he arrived at Pittsburgh for three long, sometimes frustrating seasons.
Head coach Pat Narduzzi came into the picture in late December.
Now Caprara is overlooked no more. Caprara has been a key cog in the defensive resurgence the Panthers have had this season, playing all three linebacker positions while coming up with several crucial plays in big wins during the last few weeks.
Caprara has 21 tackles (six for loss), two sacks, an interception and a safety headed into Saturday’s game against Syracuse.
