Former Pitt quarterback Phil Jurkovec got slapped with multiple felony charges last week in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, after allegedly stealing a rental box truck from Allegheny Health Network’s Wexford Hospital valet garage. This arrest went down on September 18th.
Arrested for Felony Theft
Police tracked Jurkovec down using GPS after a rental company employee reported their truck stolen. He’s now charged with two felonies: one count of theft by unlawful taking and another for receiving stolen property. Jurkovec reportedly didn’t post bail, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for later this month. That’s a seriously bad spot to be in.
A Stunning Fall
Man, what a shocking fall for a guy who was once a four-star prospect and an U.S. Army All-American. He played for Notre Dame, had a 2,558-yard, 17-touchdown season at Boston College in 2020, then transferred to Pitt. He lost his starting job in 2023, went undrafted, and failed to stick with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This whole situation is just wild.
