Having arrived at Pitt in 2015, Tipton will have spent seven years in the program when it’s all said and done. Can anyone think of another player that’s been here that long? Maybe OL Chris Jacobson, but I think he was only six years.
Tre Tipton returning for additional season

It wouldn't feel like a Pitt season without hearing all the preseason reports about how great Tre is doing and he is going to have a big year.
I like Tre as a person as it is a good story. But its time to move on already for all parties involved.
When Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl, Tre was only in his RS Freshman year.
I agree, he should move on. OTOH if he's
good enough to play, so be it. I doubt that
he's good enough to take substantial playing
time from our leading WR's whom IMO are
better.
I think he's at his highest level as a
WR. What he does bring is integrity,
leadership, and a positive team member.
I feel the positives outweigh the negatives.
He could be finishing up his Doctorate by now. When it is all said and done he will have received about half a million in free education. Good for him.
I say get all of the benefits he can. If they’ll take him back for another year, then by all means take advantage of another year of paid for education.
So when Tre was a true freshman, Jaden Bradley was in 7th grade. Did I do that right?
Bull crap! The athletic department is bleeding money this year, even more so than every other year, and they are always asking for more donations. This is another example of how they waste money then keep asking for more. He may be the greatest guy in the world but he is not going to do anything to elevate this team more than just it's current state of mediocrity.
A little known fact...Tre is the only player to suit up during the Spanish flu and covid pandemics.
The current plan is to get into coaching so sticking around another year is a no-brainer.
It seemed like Ejuan Price was around forever, but I don't think it was as long as Tipton will be around after next season.
Dude, whether he stays or leaves it costs the university and athletic department the same amount of money... If any scholarship athlete wants to stay at Pitt for seven years, it means he probably loves the love as much or even more than we do. Telling someone like that to leave, who is respected for his accomplishments outside of football and is an ACC level fourth WR would be one of the dumbest things I can think of.
I can't see why anyone would have a strong opinion against Tre Tipton getting his doctorate
Uhhhhh genius,
Pitt is in the business of educating people. Everything else, including football takes a back seat.
The Kid wants to stay in school, he should be encouraged to do so.
The end.
Welcome back Dr. Tipton!
He committed to Paul Chryst in June of 2014. If we play in a January bowl game, he will have some association as a Pitt player from 2014-22.
Pitt's version of Van Wilder.

Another fun way to look at it:
Jordan Whitehead will have earned a pension before Tre Tipton leaves school.
They both were in the same recruiting class.

I have to wish the kid well. He should have his undergraduate and Master's Degree for sure. Good for him.
Was it Ryan Turnley who said something about Jacobson during the introductions of the ND game?
