Early years
Matiscik was born in Youngstown, Ohio. He grew up in McKinney, Texas, and attended McKinney Boyd High School, where he played baseball and football. As a three-year letter winner, Matiscik played offensive line and linebacker, especially excelling as a middle linebacker. As a senior, Matiscik was named an all-state linebacker and District 6-6A's Defensive MVP, completing his career with 233 tackles, 12 sacks, 4 interceptions, and a blocked field goal.[1] Despite this, he was not recruited by any division one teams coming out of high school.
College career
Matiscik was a member of the Baylor Bears for five seasons, redshirting as a true freshman and joining the team as a walk-on. During his redshirt year, he was moved to the long snapper position.[2] While he was Baylor's primary long snapper for four seasons, Matiscik also served as a reserve linebacker for the Bears.[3]
