I'm hearing that Bucknell safety Matt Steinbeck is likely to come to Pitt as a grad transfer this summer. Steinbeck went to North Allegheny and was a two-time All-Patriot League selection before missing almost all of his senior season due to injuries. Despite essentially losing the 2014 season, he still finished 7th on Bucknell's career interception list with 11 picks. His 2014 Bucknell bio lists him at 6'0" and 210 pounds.

I'm still gathering details on Steinbeck, but it sounds pretty likely that he's going to play for Pitt this fall. If nothing else, he can provide depth at safety and on special teams for a year. Not much risk for Pitt in this situation.

If memory serves, the last transfer Pitt got from Bucknell was Joe Villani, who was a two-year starter at Pitt.
