Pitt Football Lands Charlotte OL Transfer

Stanley received a number of offers when he went into the transfer portal, including ACC schools in Miami And Virginia Tech, Big 12 schools in BYU and Kansas, plus Michigan State, Memphis, UTSA and Oregon State.

247Sports rated him as a three-star transfer, No. 302 overall and the No. 24 offensive tackle and Rivals also had him as a three-star transfer and No. 217 overall.

Stanley will compete for a starting spot on the offensive line for Pitt next season. He also has two years left of eligibility.

The Panthers had continuity issues on the offensive line, especially once Branson Taylor suffered a season-ending injury in the home win over Cal in Week 7

They moved Ryan Baer from right tackle to left tackle, but none of Terrence Enos Jr., Isaiah Montgomery, nor Jackson Brown solidified that right tackle spot going forward.

Stanley having a full season of starting experience at right tackle will give him an edge over his competition heading into spring practices.

He is the third transfer to come to Pitt following the end of the regular season, along with kicker James London from Murray State and wide receiver Deuce Spann from Florida State.
