veteran EKU trench rock with captain’s grit
Avery Pitt was a three-year starter and team captain for Eastern Kentucky, earning a 2016 Campbell Trophy semifinalist nod with a 3.45 GPA—so the résumé says brains and backbone in equal measure[11][14]. In the 2016 season, he helped anchor the Colonels’ defensive line and was described as the “rock” of the unit, which tells you he brought steadiness, leadership, and physical presence rather than flash[12][14]. He looks like a fit for a team that values dependable, hard-nosed interior line play and a locker-room tone-setter[11][14].
