There’s been major news on the college football transfer front tonight, with USC quarterback Kedon Slovis announcing he is heading to Pitt.
Slovis will aim to follow in the footsteps of Kenny Pickett, who parlayed a masterful senior season into becoming a Heisman Trophy finalist and potential first-round draft pick.
The 2019 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year should have a strong supporting cast around him, including Biletnikoff Award winner Jordan Addison.
Slovis’ commitment immediately jumpstarted conversation among college football fans and media, many of whom are eager to see how he fits in at his new program.

In November 2019 USC’s Kedon Slovis and ASU’s Joey Yellen had an epic True Freshman QB battle in which they combined for 724 passing yards and 8 TDs.
25 months later, they’re set to be teammates… at the University of Pittsburgh. Wild. pic.twitter.com/PpgBsL1egM

Former Texas A&M quarterback Zach Calzada had been eyeing #Pitt. It’ll be interesting to see where he goes now with Kedon Slovis signing today with the Panthers.

Pitt had been linked to some other quarterbacks in the transfer portal in the past 10-14 days, but it always felt like they were waiting for someone bigger.
Kedon Slovis is just that.

.@Pitt_FB is going to love @Kedonslovis – he has lived with a chip on his shoulder & his teammates have always loved his work ethic. He will be a great fit w/ @CoachDuzzPittFB @cjlquips @PittBorghetti & the special people on campus. And he can spin it. Fired up for him! #h2p https://t.co/D9XxtNefmi

Slovis has two years of eligibility remaining at Pitt, but if he performs well in 2022, there’s a legit chance he could set himself up to be taken early in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Slovis will open his Panther career up against rival West Virginia on September 3, 2022.
