Chandler Pittman brings veteran versatility to Southern Miss’s backfield
Pittman is a senior, 5-foot-10, 165-pound Southern Miss back who gives the Golden Eagles a flexible, multi-use weapon rather than just a pure carry-the-rock bruiser.[3] In his 2024 season, he produced 7 rushing yards on 2 carries and 51 receiving yards on 8 catches, showing that his value comes more from motion, matchup stress, and utility than volume.[4][10] He has a long track record of doing a little bit of everything, including a 2020 prep season with 3,012 passing yards and 1,354 rushing yards, so the appeal is toughness, feel, and football IQ—not just size or raw explosiveness.[5]
