PITTSBURGH — Kedon Slovis entered the transfer portal on Dec. 13 and signed with Pitt on Dec. 21. But really, Slovis was in the portal for only five days. That’s all it took for the USC quarterback to leave the Trojans and move 2,000 miles away.
But how did Slovis, a Scottsdale, Ariz., native, land here? And why did he spurn interest from across the country to play at Pitt? Well, a lot happened in that five-day period.
On Wednesday morning, Slovis — after throwing for 7,576 yards and 58 touchdowns in 27 games with USC — spoke to media members at Pitt’s South Side facility for the first time since joining the program. Slovis and head coach Pat Narduzzi explained how five factors contributed to the former Pac-12 star ending up with the Panthers.
