The 3-2-1 Column: Camp storylines, the scrimmage, player returns and more
Summary
- Pitt's core camp questions remained receiver reliability, offensive-line protection and whether the front four can generate pressure without linebacker blitzes.
- Censere Lee was projected to become Kade Bell's featured slot target after returning healthy; Bell's primary slot receiver has averaged more than six targets per game in four of the last five seasons.
- Ja'Kyrian Turner was viewed as the more complete lead back, but a potential Desmond Reid return would add an eight-to-ten-touch explosive role across the backfield, slot and return game.
- Justin Holmes would immediately strengthen an unsettled tight-end room if eligibility allowed him to return, but neither Holmes nor Reid was part of the working roster at publication.
- The linebacker rebuild and both lines still needed live-game validation despite positive camp signals around Mason Heintschel's development.
