Pitt landed its most high-profile recruit from the Class of 2012 when four-star quarterback Chad Voytik of Cleveland (Tenn.) High School gave Panthers coaches his verbal commitment, Voytik’s father Dr. Gary Voytik said this morning.
Pitt coach Todd Graham said today redshirt freshman quarterback Anthony Gonzalez will be suspended for the first two games of the season against Buffalo and Maine for violation of team rules.
Gonzalez, 20, was cited earlier this year in his hometown of Bethlehem on charges of possessing a small amount of marijuana and fake identification, and underage drinking.
Gonzalez will be permitted to practice with the team when training camp opens Aug. 8 …
While participating in preseason camp, Gonzalez will be subject to “internal accountability,” Graham said.
“A championship program has to be built on accountability and discipline, on and off the field,” Graham said. “We know Anthony will learn from this experience and be better for it moving forward.”
I have no problem with this suspension. I’ve said before that I don’t consider this a huge offense — except for the timing.
Otherwise, the article confirms that Brandon Sacco has left Pitt — reasons not given.
“The whole time I had been dead set on attending Tyler [Junior College],” Anderson said Wednesday. “Coach (Todd) Dodge gave me a call, and said they really needed a quarterback.
“He just asked me up for a visit to see how things would go, and I just fell in love with the place.”
The good news, he’s a winner. Led his team to a 16-0 season in his senior year and won the Texas Class 5A Division I State Championship.
