Derrick Davis Jr. offers Pitt a physical, versatile back with clutch-play instincts
Derrick Davis Jr. is a versatile Pitt weapon whose value goes beyond box-score production: in 2024 he played all 12 regular-season games, scored twice on 27 carries, added receiving work, and delivered the game-winning touchdown against West Virginia before a season-ending injury at Boston College. He brings compact, physical run-after-contact ability, special-teams utility, and experience at multiple roles, which makes him a useful fit for teams wanting toughness and lineup flexibility rather than just pure volume.
