This is a great recruiting advantage having the current NFL POY training our young men.
Aaron Donald tutoring Twyman at UPMC
- Thread starter doubleAA's
- Start date
Is it legal to have a non-coaching staff professional do this? I'm not judging, just asking. Do they list him as a GA? Officially the team can only have 10 coaches.
Remember, this is the NCAA we're dealing with here. They specialize in arcane absurd rules.

I hope it is against the rules and that Pitt ends up getting free media from it.
I’m guessing it’s voluntary workouts and really anything is alright as long as the coaches aren’t present.
Looks like a 2/10ths workout...
BTW, Twyman must be much shorter than his published height. 5'11?

Forget about Twymans height
I'm more concerned about Twyman looking out of shape rather than his height. Just look at how trim AD looks and he's playing and excelling in the NFL looking like that.
One is an NFL player the other is an 18 year old freshmen. Looks like he is working out and taking the appropriate steps.
I'd be willing to bet AD was in much better shape than Twyman when he entered Pitt as a freshman. What AD always brought to table was his unbelievable quickness off the snap of the ball. He brought that same quickness to the NFL and folks you can't teach that to very many out of shape athletes.
Right cause an 18 year old freshmen should look like one of the most physically in shape NFL players in the league.
Wow....
Aaron probably was in better shape @ the same stage, but he was nowhere close to the type of conditioning he's in now.
Aaron is a tad over 6'. It looked like the freshman was slightly shorter to me. Wasn't he listed at 6'2?
Again. Aaron Donald is arguably the best player in the nfl and tyman is a freshmen.
Awesome video and thanks for sharing. Pitt fans would have a 3 page thread critiquing how Narduzzi holds the national championship trophy
2 THINGS....
1) how sweet if a couple of big time HS prospects "just happened" to be in the area
2) Is Twyman a younger version of Forest Whitaker???

I hope Pitt and HCPN is encouraging this as much as possible. Awesome to have stud NFLers come back to help current guys and get attention to help with recruiting.
Saw Donald play 3 or 4 times in HS.
He’s small but he ain’t never stop grinding and punishing people...........
But to become one of the most awarded players in NCAA history and an MVP
Wow
That kid sb hanging on every word.
That is what I was thinking!! Donald isnt a giant
I dont think Twyman looks out of shape. I actually thought he looked too small if anything for DT. Hard to compare a young kid to an NFL player that has trainers and work outs every day
Our defensive line will be very good soon (maybe not this year). It was an absolute disgrace at times the last 2-3 years. In order to have Narduzzi's system of DBs on an island, you need strong push up front, and we only get that blitzing.
That isn't the way to win games consistently.
If you guys think Tywman looks out of shape there, look at pictures of him last year. He looks WAY better now. He is on the right track.
What does Pat have to do with 2/10ths renting space from UPMC?
I've heard of some rifts between 2/10ths and evolve with some of the staff.
Here is a PG link to it

Twyman certainly has a good back story. I hope he makes it big. What a horrible few years he has had.
I have also heard they are trying to set up days for Fitz and others to come as consultants for the young guys
You realize if our coaches "set this up" it is a clear violation, right?
I'm for our coaches encouraging it, but they certainly wouldn't do it to the point someone like you would have prior knowledge of it.
Watts, obviously. Camp can probably swing between the two, same with weaver.
In the current class, Green, with Danielson possibly a swing, the kid from Kentucky as a one.
