Cameron Monteiro’s college football career is on the move.
After spending a redshirt season at Pittsburgh, the former Brockton High receiver announced on Saturday that he will transfer to the University of Akron.
Monteiro saw playing time in two games at Pittsburgh, staying below the maximum of four appearances to preserve the redshirt tag. The Panthers went 7-6 overall and 3-5 in conference, finishing 10th among 16 teams in the ACC. He enrolled at Pittsburgh in January, 2024 after graduating from Brockton High early.
Monteiro, who stands 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, commits to an Akron program that went 4-8 last fall and finished eighth among 12 teams in the MAC (Mid-American Conference).
