Mooney’s Vinopal to transfer to Pitt

Mooney High graduate Ray Vinopal is transferring from Michigan to Pitt, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

As a true freshman safety last season, Vinopal appeared in 11 games with four starts, making 33 tackles, including 111‚Ñ2 for loss for the Wolverines, who went 7-6 and lost in the Gator Bowl. Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez was fired after the season.
