Pitt put redshirt freshman Jimmy Morrissey on scholarship last week, and this week he was listed first among the centers on the official depth chart. Pat Narduzzi had some high praise for Morrissey on Monday.
"He's had the respect of our football team since he walked on that campus. He's a natural leader. I mean, I will not be shocked if that guy is a captain some day. He's just a redshirt freshman right now but it will not shock me if he's a captain some day. He's respected on and off the field. The kids really like him. For a young guy, man, the communication he's got in the huddle and at the line of scrimmage is incredible. He does a great job."
