Pitt running back Qadree Ollison celebrates a touchdown in practice Thursday at the SAC. 8 Pitt Practice

After an unexpected injury to one of Pittsburgh's active running backs, the Pittsburgh Steelers were left having to replace a key member of the special teams unit. 

Seeing as few could fill the RB #3 role, they called upon recent practice squad signee Qadree Ollison. 

His first game back in the 412, it will be a special night for the former Pitt standout:

Back In The Burgh

Ollison played for the Panthers of Pittsburgh from 2014-2018, earning All-ACC honors during his tenure and overlapping with current Steelers QB Kenny Pickett. Ollison reminisced on his time with Pickett during college when he was signed and following the latest injury news he may have the chance to relive his college days in the stadium, but on an NFL field. 

A happy homecoming to say the least, the focus is on winning the game on Monday night, something Ollison's elevation could play a key role in.
