Pitt guard Onyebuchi Ezeakudo has been a selfless contributor in a transitional year for the Panthers, and on Thursday, the walk-on from Fort Wayne, Indiana, received some good news, as he was placed on scholarship.
The program revealed the news to the public with a video of an excited Ezeakudo sharing the news with his mom during a phone call.
“This has been something that has been in the works for a while,” Pitt head coach Jeff Capel said in a statement. “It’s something that he’s earned. He shows up every day, and he’s all about Pitt.
