Former Pitt quarterback Pat Bostick, who was under center for some of the Panthers' most stirring victories in recent years, joins Bill Hillgrove in the booth to form Pitt's radio duo for football game broadcasts.

In addition to his gameday work, Bostick is a frequent guest and contributor on Pitt's flagship radio station, 93.7 The Fan (KDKA FM). A three-year letterman for Pitt (2007-08, 2010), he quarterbacked the Panthers to memorable victories, such as their 13-9 upset of West Virginia in 2007 and 36-33 quadruple-overtime win at Notre Dame in 2008.

Bostick is an honors graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and serves as the director of development for the Panther Club, the official fundraising arm of Pitt Athletics. He lives in Mt. Lebanon with his wife of two years, Samantha.
