If you would’ve told me 5 years ago that I’d be a starting LINEBACKER for the ACC champs Pitt Panthers, I would’ve said no shot
1. Never did I think I would be a linebacker
2. Didn’t think I would be at Pitt
3. Didn’t expect Pitt to win the ACC
I’m so happy all 3 happened

They forgot about weightlifting, film, meetings, tutoring/study hall, rehab/treatment, meals, and any extra work that isn’t required but is required in order to be good ...
.. can somebody please tell the commentators to chill with the “7th year senior” stuff every week 😂😂 I know I’m old don’t remind me!
#WhateverItTakes
😂🤷🏻♂️
HONORED and THANKFUL! Grateful for every step of my journey .. high expectations, had some set backs, left my scholarship at PSU, had a vision, took a leap of faith and came home !! ALWAYS bet on yourself!! THANK YOU

Wanted y’all to hear it from me before
@AdamSchefter
announced it.. I just signed with the
@BCLions
of the
@CFL
, excited to help them throughout the playoff stretch! I told you guys I have A LOT of ball left to be played and this is just the beginning!! THE ERA CONTINUES! 📈💪🏻
Please, can we go through the draft without the random automated calls about car warranties and credit scores 😂 .. I can’t endure that emotional roller coaster every time my phone rings thinking it’s the call I’m waiting for
Lol never for one second did I think KP “refused” to be the backup. That’s not him. It blows my mind how quickly ppl believe what they see online bc “they have sources” … if the source wasn’t Tomlin or KP then it holds zero weight lol
Today is a sad day. Apple Music has informed me than I am no longer eligible for their student discount plan… you’d think they’d have some loyalty for their longest tenured student discount member 💔
Please swipe to read both screenshots... Thank you so much for an amazing 4 years, Penn State. I can’t express how appreciative I am for everything.
I will be making a decision on my next step within the next few days! Much left of the story to be written...
I was always raised to be very humble. But I’ve learned being too humble will leave you underappreciated, undervalued, and underpaid! Nobody is going to support you until you publicly support yourself! 🗣📈
Experience paid off in a big moment.
Super senior LBs John Petrishen and Chase Pine converged to make a huge 4Q stop on fourth down.

Ppl should APPRECIATE that he is being a good teammate, trying his best to positively contribute to the team in any way possible. Most seniors would pout and be a cancer after losing their spot. I’m sure the past month has gone the opposite of how he planned. I’m rooting for him
Multiple sources have informed the Post-Gazette that Phil Jurkovec is changing his position. The sixth year senior will now play tight end. Jurkovec began working out at his new spot during today’s practice.
Wanted to win that game more than anyone!! But don’t get me wrong, nothing but love for everyone at PSU, and wish them all the best the rest of the way. Friendships that’ll last forever. 🖤 great video
I agree! I’ve been a bit confused on how a guy with 74 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 3 INTs, and 9 TFLs for the ACC champs is still flying under the radar.. not to mention also being the nickel at 230lbs.. but I’m just going to keep my head down and continue to control the controllables!🙏🏼

In due time.. Im down here in Florida staying at my trainer’s place and working my tail off everyday! Whenever that call comes, I’m ready. I’ve been counted out so many times throughout my career and it’s prepared me for this phase! Hard work and persistence always prevail. 📈💪🏻
The goal was to show up 5 lbs. bigger and to put up the same numbers as last year… other than 40 we put up BETTER numbers in every event! I’m just going to keep building 📈 I’m ready & that won’t change….
Within the past week we celebrate the birthdays of two of the most valuable and loyal guys in the program ! Last week
@Kzovko
and now

… we all appreciate you both and everything you do for Pitt! Unsung heroes!

as week 5 has passed, just a reminder that I’m still this guy… actually I’m bigger, faster, and stronger now! In the best shape of my life, and that’s only going to continue to improve. 📈 stacking days, whatever it takes 🧱🔇
I mean it with my whole heart when I say that Juice was one of the most genuine, sincere, and joyful people that I have ever met. His presence was felt by everyone because of his kindness and positivity. I’ll forever be grateful of being a friend and teammate of yours, Juice.🙏🏼🖤

Pitt’s starting five introduced at the Big East Championship Game to the tune of Hypnotize by The Notorious BIG.
The 7th seeded Panthers beat 10. Cincinnati, 2. Louisville and 6. Marquette before taking down top-seeded Georgetown, 74-65.
This is March.
Fun fact: I hated when we called this blitz. I thought it never worked, and I felt it usually took me (the Sam here) way out of the play, from the field apex to the boundary hook. I never wanted this play to be called…… until this play happened. it worked big time 😂
Conference championship week has me wondering…
how many ppl have two different P5 conference championship rings? 👀

1️⃣1️⃣ Days Until Pitt Football
John Petrishen (
@jP5_ERA
) with a HUGE TFL to force a turnover on downs. Tennessee looked poised to tie it up on this drive, but the big 4th down shifted the momentum and Pitt was able to ride out a 41-34 victory.
I really appreciate that! It’s an honor to represent this program. One day when football is over, my dream job is
@LRiddickESPN

@KirkHerbstreit
’s 🤞🏼
Week in week out, John Petrishen is a must watch interview. He provides the most thoughtful and honest player insight that I can remember.
His passion for the game is undeniable.

Coaching carousel and transfer portal season is so entertaining to follow as long as it doesn’t directly affect your team 😂 rumors, gossip, surprises… it has it all.
