The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made their First Round pick in the NFL Draft, selecting defensive tackle Calijah Kancey of Pitt.
Kancey started 11 regular-season games at defensive tackle, only missing two matchups due to injury in the 2022 season. Kancey collected 31 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 78.5 sacks.
The lineman led the nation's interior defenders with 14.5 tackles for loss and had a career-high 3.5 sacks at Virginia and was named ACC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week.
The Miami native will be back in his home state, joining the Buccaneers for the 2023 NFL season. Kancey attended Miami Northwestern in high school and helped his team to back-to-back Florida 6A state champions.
