College & amateur

Pannenberg was recruited to play college soccer at Wake Forest University having turned down offers from Duke, Notre Dame and Charlotte as the number five ranked goalkeeper in the country by TopDrawerSoccer.com. He made one appearance for the Demon Deacons in his freshman 2017 season, earning the victory in a double-overtime 3–2 win over No. 6 Clemson, making three saves.

Pannenberg returned as a redshirt sophomore in 2019 to start in 22 of Wake Forest's 23 matches, keeping nine clean sheets and earning All-ACC third team honors as the team reached the NCAA College Cup semi-finals. [6] He also played in all nine of the team's matches during the 2020 season which was abbreviated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] [7] In total, Pannenberg recorded 79 saves and 13 clean sheets in 32 appearances. [3]
