Senior offensive guard Bryan Anderson has been named to the Outland Trophy watch list for the honor presented each season to the nation's top interior lineman.
Anderson (6-5, 320 lbs) has 34 career starts at right guard and is the team's most experienced offensive player. He leads an offensive front that returns all five starters from a year ago.
"Bryan is coming off his best spring and that's really encouraging," Pitt offensive line coach Tom Freeman said. "You love to have a fifth-year senior enter his final season coming off that kind of effort in the spring. As a four-year starter, Bryan is really asserting his leadership and veteran knowledge. We are really depending upon him this year."
