Now that the portal has closed for Pitt players, we can sort of start to take where the Panthers roster is from the guys set to return, the incoming 2025 class, plus the three players who have committed out of the portal to this point.
The roster situation changes next season. Currently, college football teams can have rosters of 120, with 85 players on scholarship. That is expected to change with 105 total roster spots, and you can put all 105 on scholarship, though I’m guessing some schools will maintain some commitment to having spots for walk-ons too.
But seeing the roster laid out like this should help paint a better picture in terms of what Pitt still needs from its remaining portal efforts. Obviously, DE looks to be at the top of the list, with OLine and WR help not far behind.
Then obviously, they need to close with some depth options at places like QB, TE, and DB as well.
