10/18/2021 1:00:00 PM | Football
PITTSBURGH—Pitt junior free safety Erick Hallett II has been named the ACC Defensive Back of the Week for his performance in the Panthers' 28-7 victory at Virginia Tech this past weekend.
Hallett (Cypress, Texas/Cy-Fair) compiled four tackles, two pass breakups and a pivotal interception against the Hokies.
With Pitt holding a 7-0 lead in the second quarter, Hallett picked off a Braxton Burmeister pass with a diving effort at the Virginia Tech 29. The Panthers converted the turnover into a short touchdown drive and 14-0 lead.
In his first season as a full-time starter, Hallett is Pitt's third-leading tackler with 26 stops. He has a team-high four pass breakups and shares the team lead with one interception, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble.
Owning a No. 23 ranking in both national polls, Pitt will host Clemson this Saturday in one of its most anticipated home games in recent memory. The Panthers are 5-1 overall and lead the Coastal Division with a 2-0 ACC mark. The Tigers (4-2, 3-1) are ranked No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
