Pitt OT Matt Goncalves Named to Outland Trophy Watchlist
PITTSBURGH -- Pitt Panthers offensive tackle Matt Goncalves is coming off a breakout season and people around the country are beginning to take notice.
Goncalves was one of 91 FBS offensive and defensive lineman to earn a spot on the Outland Trophy Preseason Watchlist. He was Pitt's lone selection.
The Outland Trophy is given annually by the Greater Omaha Sports Committee to the most outstanding interior lineman in college football that season.
Goncalves emerged as one of the Panthers' best offensive lineman after a strong 2022 campaign in which he helped fill in for Carter Warren, a starter and team captain who went down with a knee injury midway through the season. He projects as a starter at right tackle this coming season.
He's already earned preseason recognition as an All-ACC player by Phil Steele, Athlon Sports, Pro Football Focus and College Football Network.
