PITTSBURGH — Kedon Slovis is the new starting quarterback at Pitt.
Head coach Pat Narduzzi says Slovis has won the starting job following a lengthy competition with Nick Patti.
Slovis transferred to Pitt over the winter after three seasons at USC.
Slovis threw 58 touchdowns against 24 interceptions with the Trojans.
He now gets a shot at taking over for Kenny Pickett, who led the Panthers to an ACC title last fall before heading to the NFL.
Slovis will make his debut on Sept. 1 when the 17th-ranked Panthers face rival West Virginia in the renewal of the “Backyard Brawl.”
