PITTSBURGH—Former Pitt defensive lineman Mark Scarpinato has been named to the prestigious Hampshire Honor Society by the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame.
The Hampshire Honor Society is comprised of college football players from all divisions of play who maintained a cumulative 3.2 grade-point average or better throughout their college career.
Scarpinato (Milwaukee, Wis./Marquette University H.S.) joined Pitt as a graduate transfer for the 2015 season. A former defensive lineman at Michigan State, he earned his bachelor’s degree in three years and then pursued his aspirations in medicine by enrolling at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Following a one-year hiatus from football, Scarpinato enrolled at Pitt and became a key contributor to the Panthers’ defensive front. He played in the season’s first eight games at defensive tackle and end before missing the balance of the year due to injury.
Scarpinato is studying health and policy management in Pitt’s Graduate School of Public Health. Following his completion of that program, he plans to attend medical school and become a doctor.
