Pitt Panthers S Paris Ford Opts Out Of Remainder Of 2020 Season
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The University of Pittsburgh's attempt to salvage what has become a disappointing college football season won't include safety Paris Ford.
Coach Pat Narduzzi says Ford, a redshirt junior, has opted out of the Panthers' final four games.
Ford had three picks and 45 tackles for the Panthers, who have dropped four straight following a 3-0 start heading into a visit to Florida State.
Ford's is the second high-profile departure for Pitt's defense.
Defensive tackle Jaylen Twyman, an All-American in 2019, decided over the summer to take the season off and prepare for the NFL draft.
