Pat Costello brings versatile, multi-sport toughness to Pitt’s secondary
Costello is a Pittsburgh defensive back whose background as a three-sport athlete and two-time all-conference punter points to coordination, toughness, and reliable special-teams value. ESPN’s current stat line shows limited defensive production so far, with 3 solo tackles and no interceptions or pass breakups, which suggests he is still more of a developmental depth piece than a proven playmaker. His appeal is less about gaudy numbers and more about athletic versatility, workmanlike fit, and the kind of steady competitive profile coaches like to keep around for depth and special teams.[1][2]
