Another Pitt quarterback is entering the transfer portal. Redshirt freshman Ty Dieffenbach announced his decision to enter the portal Thursday night. When Nate Yarnell took over as quarterback this season, Dieffenbach was relegated to third-string duties behind David Lynch. This move honestly makes sense, as Mason Heintschel is expected to join the program in the spring and could compete with Lynch for back-up duties next season.
I'm gonna add this as well after talking to a few people. Before he announced his transfer, I've heard that the coaching staff approached Dieffenbach about a move to tight end. He considered it, but eventually decided to enter the transfer portal. He's got early interest from both Stanford and UNLV.
