After transferring home, former WPIAL stars aiming to set new examples

Phil Jurkovec said he was "close" to committing to play his college football at Pitt right out of high school.

Donovan McMillon went for a stint at Florida for learning and growth experiences.

Derrick Davis Jr. felt it was time to come home.

The trio transferred over the offseason to play for Pat Narduzzi and for a Pitt team which is coming off a 9-4 season and a victory in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 30. Jurkovec is slotted in as the starting quarterback, while McMillon is expected to start Day 1 at safety and Davis ready to rotate in as a running back behind Rodney Hammond Jr.
