    Pittsburgh Panthers running back Daniel Carter (4) gets the Panthers hyped up before a game against the Kent State Golden Flashes at Acrisure Stadium.

    Pittsburgh offseason transfer portal addition Desmond Reid had one of the top highlights during college football's early slate of games in Week 1.

    The junior running back performed a magic trick on his 78-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter. Reid fielded the punt off a bounce at his own 22-yard line and was immediately hit by a Kent State defender. He spun out of the tackle and evaded another tackle attempt before gaining speed in the open field.

    A convoy escorted him into the end zone as Pittsburgh expanded its lead to 14-0.

    Reid is in his first season at Pittsburgh after transferring from FCS Western Carolina.

    Last season, Reid had 131 carries, 897 yards and 13 touchdowns while adding 283 years on 21 receptions for the Catamounts.

    He's a natural playmaker, and Reid quickly showed he belongs in the FBS.

    Midway through the first quarter, Pittsburgh leads Kent State 14-7. In addition to his punt return TD, Reid has three carries for 14 yards through the Panthers' first two offensive drives.
