Walk-on-turned-All-ACC spark plug gives Pitt a proven, high-motor LB
Seun Idowu’s calling card is production and relentlessness: he rose from walk-on to become a second-team All-ACC linebacker, and in the 2018 season he posted 82 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles for Pitt. He fits best as a disruptive, instinctive front-seven piece who can make plays in space and on the edge, not just rack up clean-up tackles. The context that matters: Pitt trusted him as a starter in big roles, and his ascent suggests competitiveness, toughness and a strong football IQ that coaches love.
