Donovan McMillon to Pitt
- Thread starter Teh Teh

You see what he can do at safety and then convert him to Star LB (his ideal position, IMO) if need be.
I do give Narduzzi credit for re recruiting these players who said no to Pitt the 1st time around. Now let's get Davis!!! H2P
Nice! I saw Florida fans seemed to be disappointed he went to the transfer portal. He'll help depth and hopefully will realize his full potential here.
This is great. He'll be a good player for us.
Guys like Petrishen and Devonshire have been really good at Pitt, and some of my personal favourites the past few years.
Local guys belong at Pitt!

I kinda recall that Pitt wanted him at LB but he wanted to play Safety. Not that it was the difference maker in why he committed to UF. I assume he's changed his mind. Still think he's a LB.
it shows maturity to bring these kids back after not choosing them first.
But, I love seeing how fast these older, gritty coaches have adapted to the new world of transfer portal. We are certainly a big player in this the past few seasons

I think wanting to remain at safety played a role in him transferring. Supposedly, Florida also wanted him to move to LB.
I'm sure we'll find a spot for him with Hallett and Hill moving on. The thing that kind of stings is that he's only got two years of eligibility left. If he was a 2020 guy, he could have one year at S and two at LB if it turns out you and I are correct and that's his best fit. But since he's a 2021 guy and they blew his redshirt on mostly special teams, well, any move to LB would almost have to happen after spring practices if he's going to have more than a season at that position.
Looking at his offer sheet out of high school this kid had offers not only from football powers but from some of the smartest schools in the country. Seems like a solid addition to me.
It is puzzling to me why a player would not understand that playing at a position one click down in terms of speed gives one the best opportunity at the next level. Slow safety or fast Linebacker? or even Slow Safety vs average speed Linebacker opens up a lot more doors, IMO. Speed is king.
