Yet another Power Five player this offseason has opted to continue his collegiate playing career at a lower rung on the college football ladder.
On his personal Twitter account earlier this month, Justin Sliwoski confirmed that he has decided to transfer from Pitt. Not only that, but the quarterback revealed his next college stop -- St. Francis University.
As the Red Flash play at the FCS level, Sliwoski will be eligible to play immediately in 2019.
Thank you Pittsburgh! Looking forward to the new opportunity! pic.twitter.com/8AS5mT2b5K

Sliwoski came to the Panthers last season as a walk-on following a prolific high school career in Greensburg, PA. Exiting spring practice this year, he was, at bare minimum, behind starter Kenny Pickett and ex-Illinois/Michigan signal-caller Jeff George Jr. on Pitt’s depth chart. He would also have been battling Davis Beville and Nick Patti for the No. 3 quarterback job.
