Coach Narduzzi lauds Tyreek Robinson's progress while teasing his river fishing habit
Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi praised wide receiver Tyreek Robinson's development at camp, but joked about the player catching fish in the Monongahela River.
At a recent Pitt football training camp press conference, head coach Pat Narduzzi commended the growth of redshirt sophomore wide receiver Tyreek Robinson, emphasizing his blocking, effort, and desire for faster, steadier play. Narduzzi also shared a humorous story about Robinson supposedly catching fish from the Monongahela River that runs by the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, advising the player to stop the habit. Robinson, who hails from Shreveport, Louisiana, participated in a few snaps during his freshman year, missed the following season, and is now looking to earn a larger role.
The coach expressed interest in seeing Robinson consistently play at a high tempo rather than an up-and-down pattern. While the fishing remark added levity, the core message centered on Robinson's potential contribution to the Panthers' offense. The comments came as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
