Young Pitt DL with early disruptive flashes and starter-level upside
Whittington is a 6-foot, 270-275 pound defensive lineman who showed encouraging growth at Pitt in 2025, appearing in 11 games and recording 11 tackles with 1 sack after playing only three games in 2024 to preserve a redshirt[2][4][7]. The selling point is his trajectory: he’s already producing as a freshman, flashed enough to earn his first collegiate start in the Military Bowl, and has the size/edge profile to keep developing into a useful interior disruptor rather than just a rotational body[3][4].
