PITTSBURGH—Pitt redshirt freshman quarterback Nate Yarnell has been named the ACC Rookie of the Week for his performance in the Panthers' victory at Western Michigan this past Saturday.
With senior quarterbacks Kedon Slovis and Nick Patti both unavailable, Yarnell made his collegiate debut as Pitt's starting signal caller and directed the Panthers to a 34-13 road win with a highly efficient performance.
Yarnell threw for 179 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes (9 of 12). His scoring pass was a six-yarder to Konata Mumpfield that gave Pitt a 27-13 lead midway through the final period.
Prior to his debut at Western Michigan, Yarnell had not played in a game since his junior year (2019) at Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas. He missed his entire senior season (2020) due to injury. Yarnell enrolled at Pitt in January 2021 and did not play in any contests last year.
Ranked No. 24 in this week's Associated Press poll, the Panthers host Rhode Island on Saturday, September 24, at Acrisure Stadium. The ACC Network telecast will kick off at noon.
For tickets, call 800-643-PITT (7488) or online at PittsburghPanthers.com.
