Back in Happy Valley with some of my old roommates and teammates — invited to watch practice, meet the staff, and get an inside look at the next chapter of Penn State Football. We spent time in Lasch, Holuba Hall, and the Academic Center, and it felt like stepping into the past and the future at the same time. Great to reconnect with my roommates Johnny Walter, Mike Garret, Trey Bauer, and huge thanks to Coach Reid Kagy for walking us through the strength, conditioning, and performance setup. The standard is as high as ever. A special moment with Rogers Alexander — teammate in ’83, now part of the Academic staff — who made sure I had a quiet spot to jump on a call and gave us a tour of how they support today’s student‑athletes. Full circle. Seeing Joe Paterno’s legacy alive and well — Success With Honor and WE ARE everywhere you turn — reminded me why this place is special and why the future looks bright. And capped it off with a shot alongside Rocco Becht, who’s coming in hungry to compete for that QB1 spot. Proud of where we’ve been. Fired up for what’s coming next. #WeAre #PennState #PSUFootball #Unrivaled WE ARE.
