Aaron Donald named to Pitt advisory committee as school looks for new AD

Aaron Donald may not be suiting up on Sundays anymore but he’s staying busy in retirement. In addition to his own ventures, he’s also remained a part of his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh.

This week, Donald was named to the school’s advisory committee in its search for a new athletic director to replace the recently fired Heather Lyke, according to Jerry DiPaola of Trib Live. Men’s basketball coach Jeff Capel and former Pitt quarterback Pat Bostick are also on the committee, among others.

Donald is an icon in the Pitt community after a decorated career with the Panthers and a Hall of Fame tenure in the NFL with the Rams. As one of the school’s most successful alumni, it only makes sense that he’d help in the search for a new athletic director.

In addition to his home in Los Angeles, Donald also has a residence back home in Pittsburgh where he grew up and spent much of his time during NFL offseasons.
