With that said, it should have been an easy fix for whoever did make the graphic for him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"23XTOOWIBJH3ZJIF2BVMXIBBJU\">A former star high school quarterback in Florida, Deuce Spann started his college football career at Illinois, before transferring to Florida State. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"7MW7T7PTANGKLBUSKTNPEZ2DVI\">The 6-foot-4 receiver spent three seasons at FSU, managing only 10 total receptions, before transferring to Pitt ahead of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"DKPZLF536NDGBEZ7XEBVMMY2IM\">Spann caught 13 passes for 142 yards for the Panthers in 2025. He also returned kickoffs for Pitt, averaging more than 22 yards per return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"CU5PVH2EFNELHGA4XUOXUJUTEM\">Spann finished his college career with five touchdowns. Two of those came this season as he caught a touchdown pass and ran for a score while helping Pitt to an 8-5 record, including a 6-2 mark in the ACC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"ZHO3RVWNJBC5JDKOHBMFOBUW64\">Below is Spann\u2019s full NFL Draft announcement:<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"7RZPJGQ7QFGFVPSWTHJEHXYHLU\">\u201cI would like to thank God for making this possible. Thank you for my mother and family for the love, support, and being there for me throughout my journey. To my coaches, teammates and the training staff, thank you for the memories and life lessons that we have all shared together. At this time I want to announce that I will be declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft.
