Early years

Voytik attended Cleveland High School in Cleveland, Tennessee. During his career he passed for over 5,000 passing yards and had 6,098 total yards. Voytik was ranked by Rivals.com as a four-star recruit and the fourth best pro-style quarterback in his class.[1] In July 2011, he committed to play college football at the University of Pittsburgh.[2]

In the 2013 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, Voytik replaced Savage at halftime after he suffered a rib injury and helped Pittsburgh win the game 30–27, passing for 108 yards and rushing for a touchdown.[3][4] On August 21, 2014, Voytik was named the Panthers starter for the 2014 season.[5][6]
