Rodney Hammond Jr. - Loses starting job for Week 1 Hammond will not start at running back for Pittsburgh's game Saturday against Kent, Jerry DiPaola of Trib Total Media reports.
Impact Hammond was Pittsburgh's primary option at running back during 2023. But to begin the Panthers' 2024 season, they will have Desmond Reid as their main RB against Kent.

Desmond Reid - Will start season opener Reid has been named the starter in the backfield ahead of Pitt's season opener against Kent State, per Jerry DiPaola of TribLive.com.
Impact Reid was previously listed as a co-starter along with Rodney Hammond, but Reid will start the team's Week 1 matchup. The former FCS Western Carolina transfer will likely continue to split carries with Hammond moving forward, but Reid will get his opportunity to separate himself as the leader in the backfield.

Nate Yarnell - Not starting but will play Yarnell is not Pittsburgh's starting quarterback Saturday against Kent but will play, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.
Impact According to an earlier post by Thamel, Eli Holstein will be Pittsburgh's starting quarterback Saturday. Fortunately for Yarnell, he has an opportunity to log at least a decent output against Kent, though unlikely better than that if Holstein excels this weekend.

Impact Holstein transferred to Pitt in the offseason following a single season with Alabama and has apparently earned the opportunity to start the Panthers' season opener. The 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman will reportedly split snaps with Nate Yarnell, indicating that the position battle between the two will continue into the regular season.

Raphael Williams Jr. - Starting on Week 1 depth chart Williams will start for Pitt on its Week 1 depth chart.
Impact Williams transferred to the Steel City after spending 2023 with San Diego State and failing to record a statistic. As a starter for the Panthers, that's a pretty big leap for the wideout, but he's earned it with a strong offseason. He now figures to be the most involved in the offense as he has been since his Western Carolina days.

Desmond Reid - Gets co-starter label Reid is listed as a co-starter at running back for the Week 1 matchup against Kent on Saturday.
Impact Reid is slated to be one of the options in the backfield, but it's unclear how the Panthers will handle their backfield touches. Reid will be the co-starter alongside Rodney Hammond.

Nate Yarnell - Co-starter for opener Saturday Yarnell is listed as a co-starter for Saturday's game against Kent, Chris Peak of Rivals.com reports.
Impact It seems the Panthers are undecided on who will start under center for the season opener, and seeing both quarterbacks split reps could also be a possibility given the depth chart. Yarnell appeared in four games for Pitt in 2023, completing 66 percent of his passes for 595 yards, four scores and an interception.

Eli Holstein - Listed as co-starter for Week 1 Holstein is listed as a co-starter for Saturday's game against Kent, Chris Peak of Rivals.com reports.
Impact It seems the Panthers are undecided on who will start under center for the season opener, and seeing both quarterbacks split reps could also be a possibility given the depth chart. Holstein was a redshirt in his first college season in 2023, so it's unclear what he can do under center in a real game, but he has shown flashes of brilliance in camp.

Eli Holstein - Competing to be QB1 Holstein and Nate Yarnell are competing to be Pittsburgh's starting quarterback, Jerry DiPaola of TribLIVE.com reports.
Impact Holstein is proving himself to be a worthy contender for opportunities as Pittsburgh's starting quarterback. He redshirted his first season (2023), one during which Jalen Milroe played so well that none of Alabama's other QBs then could compete.

Nate Yarnell - Part of position battle Head coach Pat Narduzzi indicated that Yarnell is in the midst of an ongoing competition for the starting quarterback spot with redshirt freshman Eli Holstein, per Jerry Dipaola of...
Impact Yarnell was assumed for most of the offseason to be the likely starter for the Panthers heading into the 2024 season, but Narduzzi's words indicate that it is far from a sure thing. The redshirt junior appeared in four games for Pitt in 2023, completing 66% of his passes for 595 yards, four scores and an interception. Narduzzi did not give a timeline for when a decision would be made, indicating that the competition could run all the way up to the start of the season.
