David Lynch is Pitt’s big-framed, next-man-up QB with real poise under fire
In the 2024 season, Pitt walk-on quarterback David Lynch flashed a sturdy 6-foot-3, 220-pound frame and enough composure to handle real game action, completing 16 of 27 passes for 111 yards with three interceptions across three appearances. He even earned a bowl start after injuries and roster movement thinned Pitt’s QB room, which says plenty about the staff’s trust in his preparation and toughness. He’s not a polished stat-sheet stuffer yet, but he has the size, willingness, and no-drama backup mentality that can fit a team looking for steadiness, depth, and a player who won’t blink when the lights get bright.
