Pitt Panthers Football Targeting Alabama Transfer TE

Title: Pitt Panthers Football Targeting Alabama Transfer TE The Pitt Panthers are pursuing Alabama transfer tight end Ty Lockwood, who is currently in the transfer portal. Other interested schools include Boston College, LSU, and Missouri, indicating competition for Lockwood's commitment. Lockwood has a strong high school background, with impressive sophomore and junior seasons, but faced injuries in his senior year. He was originally committed to Ohio State before switching to Alabama, where he signed his National Letter of Intent. Lockwood was a consensus four-star recruit in the Class of 2023, with various rankings placing him among the top tight ends in the nation and Tennessee. During his time at Alabama, Lockwood played limited snaps, preserving his redshirt status, and recorded minimal statistics in his freshman year. He has three years of eligibility left and could reunite with former Alabama quarterback Eli Holstein in Pitt's Kade Bell offense. Pitt is looking to fill the tight end position due to the graduation of starting tight end Gavin Bartholomew. The Panthers have actively utilized the transfer portal, adding 11 players this offseason, including offensive and defensive talent. Recent additions from the transfer portal include players from various positions, enhancing the team's roster for the upcoming season.
