Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett announced on Thursday that he will forego playing in the Peach Bowl against Michigan State to begin training for the 2022 NFL Draft.
“To the University of Pitt, thank you for all that you have given me over the past five years,” Pickett wrote in a tweet. “Coach Narduzzi, thank you for being by my side throughout my entire career and teaching me life lessons every step of the way.
“One of the best moments of my football career was standing on stage with you, the team and our ACC Championship trophy. I will never forget our victory and everything it took to get us there.
