Pat Narduzzi and the Pitt coaching staff secured the services of Joey Yellen, a quarterback transferring out of Arizona State, on Thursday afternoon. Yellen spent the 2019 season with the Sun Devils as a backup to Jayden Daniels and saw the field just once after competing for the starting job in the offseason. The quarterback will enroll at Pitt in time for the spring semester, according to Chris Peak of Panther-Lair.com.
There was no consensus among recruiting analysts regarding Yellen’s talent level coming out of Mission Viejo High School in Mission Viejo, California, in 2019. ESPN considered him an elite prospect and ranked him 63rd overall in his class and third at his position, assigning him a four-star rating.
