Kavika Pittman
Kavika Charles Pittman (born October 9, 1974) is a German-born former professional football defensive end in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, and Carolina Panthers. He played college football at McNeese State University.
Pittman was born in Frankfurt, Germany, where his father was stationed with the United States Army. After five moves, his family settled in Leesville, Louisiana, where as a senior at Leesville High School he was an All-State selection and the district Most Valuable Player, after finishing with 94 tackles and 12 sacks.
In track and field, he won the district championship in the high jump, long jump and the triple jump as a senior. In basketball, he helped his AAU All-star team win a national championship.
Pittman accepted a football scholarship from McNeese State University. After sitting out his freshman season, he played in 5 games as a sophomore, tallying 8 tackles (6 solo) and 2 quarterback pressures, before suffering a deep left thigh bruise that forced him to miss the remainder of the season.
As a junior, he was named a starter on a defense that was ranked sixth in Division I-AA. He earned All-Southland Conference honors, recording 59 tackles (4 for loss), 4 sacks, 11 quarterback pressures, one fumble recovery and a blocked kick.
As a senior, he helped his team reach the school's first ever semifinal appearance in the Division I-AA playoffs, while registering 57 tackles (7 for loss), 13 sacks, 18 quarterback pressures, 11 passes defensed, 2 forced fumbles and a blocked kick. Against James Madison University, he had 3 sacks, 8 tackles (one for loss), 2 passes defensed, 3 quarterback pressures and a blocked punt. Against Youngstown State University, he made 3 sacks, 7 tackles, 2 quarterback pressures and one pass defensed.
For his efforts, he was named first-team Division I-AA All-American, Louisiana Defensive Player of the Year and the Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year. In the postseason he had 10 tackles (2 for losses), one and a half sacks and 4 quarterback pressures. He finished as the school's career All-time sack leader (22.5).
In 2014, he was inducted into the McNeese State Hall of Fame, besides being named to the 1990s and the All-time Southland Conference football teams.
