He will be pushed by senior Kris Wildman and sophomores Derrick Burns, Randy Morris OFFENSE and Adam Lazenga. Quarterbacks Tino Sunseri enters his senior season having started every game the past two years (26 games). As a junior, Sunseri completed 64% of his passes (247 of 385) for 2,616 yards, while throwing 10 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. For his career, Sunseri has passed for 5,302 yards (sixth all-time at Pitt) with 28 TDs against 20 INTs. Competition will come from a pair of sophomore lettermen, Trey Anderson and Mark Myers. Anderson was the primary backup to Sunseri for most of last season. In four appearances, he completed 12-of-33 passes for 55 yards and threw three interceptions. Myers, who played in four games last year, completed 1-of-4 passes for five yards. Another sophomore letterman, Anthony Gonzalez, will also get a look at quarterback during the spring. Gonzalez played in 10 games last year, contributing as an H-Back and occasional Wildcat quarterback. His only pass attempt was an in- completion but he did average 4.5 yards per rush (36 yards on eight carries). Gonzalez was an all-state dual-threat QB at Pennsylvania’s Liberty High School.

Also, speedy sophomore Brandon Ifill, who lettered at safety last year, will begin the spring at wide receiver, a position he excelled at while starring at nearby Penn Hills High School.

Tight End Senior Hubie Graham leads an experienced group of tight ends. The 2011 season marked Graham’s first active year at Pitt following a transfer from Illinois. He emerged as a productive part of the offense with 28 receptions for 325 yards (11.6 avg.) and three touchdowns. Graham was also an asset in the run game as a blocker. Pitt boasts quality tight end depth with the return of sophomores Brendan Carozzoni and Drew Carswell. Carozzoni played in 12 games, making two starts, and had four catches for 43 yards. Carswell contributed at both H-Back and wide receiver last season, compiling 13 catches for 140 yards (10.8 avg.) and a touchdown.

Special Teams Both starting specialists are back for 2012. Senior placekicker Kevin Harper posted a team-high 95 points last year, converting 21-of-31 field goals (68%) and 32-of-33 extra points (97%). Harper ranked 11th nationally in field goals per game (1.62 avg.). Boasting a big leg, he tied the Heinz Field record for longest field goal (pro or college) with a 52-yarder against Cincinnati. Junior Matt Yoklic averaged 41.2 yards per punt to rank second in the Big East. Yoklic finished the year in a flurry, placing 18 punts inside the 20-yard line over the final six regular-season contests. Sophomore Drake Greer is capable of contributing at either placekicker or punter. Junior Kevin Barthelemy handled long snapping for punts and field goals last year. Redshirt freshman David Murphy also returns at long snapper.

Senior safety Jarred Holley

Secondary Pitt returns starters at three positions in the secondary, making this an area of strength and experience for the defensive unit. Senior Jarred Holley is a two-time All-Big East performer at free safety and could be poised for national accolades this year. Holley ranked second on the team with 67 tackles a year ago and has nine career interceptions. Depth and competition at the free will come from senior Marco Pecora, sophomore Ray Vinopal (a 2011 transfer from Michigan) and redshirt freshman Roderick Ryles. The Panthers boast excellent depth at strong safety with the return of senior Andrew Taglianetti (49 tackles, one INT, two fumble recoveries) and junior Jason Hendricks (36 tackles, Senior placekicker Kevin Harper

Paul Chryst Head Coach

Paul Chryst, who built a reputation as one of the most respected coordinators in college football, was named the new head coach at the University of Pittsburgh on December 22, 2011.

The 46-year-old Chryst takes over at Pitt following an exceptional eight-year tenure at Wisconsin (2002, 2005-11) where he gained acclaim as one of the country’s finest offensive teachers and strate- gists. The Badgers compiled a 60-19 record (.759) during his six seasons overseeing the offense, which annually ranked among the nation’s most prolific and efficient units.

In 2011, Chryst helped Wisconsin to an 11-3 record and its second consecutive Big Ten title and Rose Bowl berth. The Badgers featured a powerful offense that set no fewer than a dozen school records, including points per game (44.1 avg.), total offense per game (469.9 avg.), total rushing yards (3,298) and total passing yards (3,280).

Over the past three seasons (2009-11), Wisconsin achieved the Big Ten’s best record (32-8, .800) while averaging 39.2 points per game during that span. Chryst, who also coached the UW quarterbacks, was named a finalist for the prestigious Broyles Award, annually presented to college Personal Information football’s top assistant, each of the past two seasons. Birthdate: November 17, 1965 Hometown: Madison, Wis. His 23-year coaching career includes 16 seasons on the collegiate level and seven years in the Alma Mater: Wisconsin, 1988 professional ranks. Family: Chryst and his wife Robin have two daughters, Katy (18) and “We are extremely pleased to welcome Coach Chryst and his family to Pittsburgh,” Pitt Athletic Di- JoJo (16), and one son, Danny (14). rector Steve Pederson said. “His remarkable success at Wisconsin is well documented in the form of Big Ten championships and All-America performances. But beyond his achievements on the football coaching experience field, we believed it was important to find a leader who gets the very best from his players while also College developing the kind of culture that fits the University of Pittsburgh. Paul Chryst is that leader and we West Virginia, 1989-90, graduate are anxious for our players and fans to get to know him in the coming days and years.” assistant UW–Platteville, 1993, offensive “My family and I greatly appreciate the opportunity to join the University of Pittsburgh,” Chryst coordinator & quarterbacks said. “Pitt and Pittsburgh are absolutely the right fit for us, and we’re looking forward to getting Illinois State, 1995, offensive immersed in our new hometown. We are committed to building a program on and off the field coordinator & quarterbacks that will make people proud.
