Pitt releases first 2026 two-deep as Miami confirms inexperienced starting QB

Pitt’s first depth chart confirms Mason Heintschel at quarterback, Ja’Kyrian Turner ahead of Damon Ferguson at running back, Carson Kent at tight end and Antonio Chadha as placekicker. Four defensive ends are co-starters, while receiver, linebacker, return-game and specialist rotations remain unsettled. Miami will start redshirt freshman David McComb after Thomas Gotkowski’s season-ending injury; Narduzzi says McComb’s arm talent, mobility and Power Four background make him more than an unknown quantity.
