PITTSBURGH — University of Pittsburgh linebacker Kyle Louis was named the ACC Linebacker of the Week following his standout performance in the Panthers’ 61-9 victory over Duquesne on Saturday.
Louis, a redshirt junior, opened the 2025 season with an impressive stat line, recording six tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks. His two sacks, which came on consecutive plays in the first quarter, effectively stopped one of Duquesne’s early drives.
Louis’s performance against Duquesne matched his single-game career high for sacks, a feat he previously achieved against Clemson last season. His efforts have placed him at the top of the ACC in both sacks and tackles for loss, and he ranks third nationally in sacks and fifth in tackles for loss after the first week of play.
The Pitt defense, led by Louis, held Duquesne to just 37 rushing yards and 208 total yards. Under head coach Pat Narduzzi, the Panthers boast a 21-3 record when limiting opponents to under 250 yards of total offense.
Looking ahead, Pitt will face Central Michigan this Saturday, Sept. 6 at noon at Acrisure Stadium.
