Pitt didn’t lose a starting boundary safety to the NFL or graduation this offseason, but the Panthers are looking for someone to step up at that position nonetheless.
That’s because junior Jordan Whitehead, moved to field safety this spring after spending the last two years on the boundary side, a switch that will give Pitt more speed on the back end of the defense and, ideally, give Whitehead more opportunities to make plays against the pass.
But the position move leaves a void at boundary safety, and for that spot, the coaches have a few options. Here's a look at those options.
