will be available Saturday when the unbeaten Panthers open Atlantic Coast Conference play against North Carolina.
Hammond was declared ineligible for the season on the eve of Pitt's opener against Kent State on Aug. 31. The school declined to provide a reason, though it stipulated at the time that Hammond remained a member of the team and was cleared to practice. Coach Pat Narduzzi said Thursday that Hammond, the team's leading rusher in 2023, will be ready to go for the Panthers when they face the Tar Heels ."Excited as a coaching staff and a team that he is back," Narduzzi said."It's great for everybody.""Right now he's ready to play," Narduzzi said."That's all I care about. That's all I focus on.
"Obviously, Desmond is the guy right now, the starter," Narduzzi said."But Rodney's been practicing every day since it happened and he'll be ready to roll."
