On Saturday, Pitt will face an Akron team that defeated them in 2014. They'll also get an opportunity to play against former player, Tra'Von Chapman.
The term 'player' is used loosely here since while Chapman was signed to the team, he never actually played in a game for Pitt. Upon being charged with assault, Chapman was later suspended and then dismissed from the program by head coach Paul Chryst.
From there, Chapman started his career at Division II Ashland. As a true freshman in 2013, he played pretty well, starting the final six games for the team, completing 90 of 173 passes for 1,154 yards, and nine touchdowns against only three interceptions.
