Sincere Edwards and Malachi Thomas played in all 12 games, with Edwards coming on as a backup defensive end and Thomas mostly playing on special teams.

Edwards made 17 tackles (eight solo), six tackles for loss, three sacks, three quarterback hits and two pass breakups this season and will look for more snaps in the bowl game and in 2025.

He had a season-high four tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss in the season opener vs.Kent State, as well sacks vs. Cincinnati in Week 2 on the road, and against Syracuse in Week 9 and Clemson in Week 12, both at home.

Edwards also made three tackles, including a tackle for loss, in the win over North Carolina on the road in Week 6.

Thomas made two catches for 22 yards, including a one yard touchdown catch from redshirt junior quarterback Nate Yarnell at the end of the 48-25 defeat to then ranked No. 20 SMU in Week 10.

Francis Brewu played in 11 games, missing just the season opener vs. the Golden Flashes, at defensive tackle, making 13 tackles (two solo), 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack and four quarterback hits.

He had two tackles in the win over Youngstown State, while making a tackle for loss and a season-high three tackles vs. SMU. He also had two quarterback hits on Clemson's Cade Klubnik in Week 12 and his first sack vs. Louisville in Week 13.

Jeremiah Marcelin played in the final nine games at linebacker for the Panthers, making just one tackle vs. the Penguins and a pass breakup vs. the Mustangs.

Edwards, Thomas, Brewu and Marcelin have all burned their redshirt this season for the Panthers, as they have all played more than four games.

Pitt had two players that played in four games in wide receiver Tyreek Robinson and defensive back Allen Bryant, who preserved their redshirts.

Robinson had a catch for 20 yards for Syracuse and handled kick return duties vs. them, SMU and Virginia. Bryant had a rush for one yard and a tackle vs. Boston College and a five yard catch vs. Louisville.

Defensive tackle Jahsear Whittington played in three games, making four tackles (two solo) on the season with the two solo tackles vs. the Cardinals.

Linebackers Cameron Lindsey and Davin Brewton played two games and one game each

Running back Juelz Goff played in the final two games, as Pitt dealt with injuries to sixth year Daniel Carter, redshirt junior Derrick Davis Jr. and junior Desmond Reid.

There are still 14 freshman, 12 scholarship and three walk-ons, that have not played at all for the Panthers in 2024 and will redshirt.
