Pitt Offers Former Memphis OL
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers are hoping to add some depth - and maybe even a top-of-the-line starter to their offensive line this offseason.
Former Memphis offensive tackle Makylan Pounders, a 6'5 and 290-pound left tackle, has picked up four offers from Power 5 teams since entering the transfer portal and Pitt is one of them.
South Carolina, Auburn and Texas Tech have also taken an early interest in Pounders, who entered the portal just a day ago.
Pounders entered the 2022 season as Memphis' starting left tackle but an injury kept him sidelined for five games. He returned as the starter in 2023 and appeared in 10 games for an explosive Tigers offense that averaged 39.7 points and 452.1 yards per game this past season.
Pounders was a three-star recruit coming out of high school in 2021 and chose the Tigers over the likes of Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas, LSU, Missouri, UCF and Florida State, among others.
