Yogi Roth was a Pitt walk-on who turned scholarship receiver into football lifer
Yogi Roth’s Pitt football story is less about box-score glory and more about earned respect: he walked on as a wide receiver, won a scholarship by his sophomore season, and later became a polished college football analyst and coach. That background signals toughness, work ethic, and football IQ—traits that translate well in a team setting. He’s not a current player for the Panthers, but as a former Pitt receiver and media/coach voice, he brings perspective, communication skills, and a real feel for the game’s details.
