Pittsburgh Panthers freshman running back Damon Ferguson Jr. has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Week following a standout performance against Georgia Tech. The honor comes after Ferguson delivered a career-best showing that helped the Panthers secure a victory.
Ferguson, who wears number 26 for Pittsburgh, previously made an impact earlier in the season when he scored a touchdown against the UCF Knights at Acrisure Stadium on September 12, 2026. The celebration was captured with wide receiver Censere Lee and quarterback Mason Heintschel joining in.
The ACC recognition highlights the immediate impact the freshman has made in his debut collegiate season, positioning him as one of the conference's most promising newcomers.
