MALLOYS ENDOW HEADFOOTBALL COACH POSITION

IN HONOR OF PATERNOPatrick and Candace Malloy have committed$5 million to create the Malloy Paterno HeadFootball Coach Endowment at Penn State. InDecember 2007, on the eve of Joe Paterno’sinduction into the College Football Hall of Fame,the two longtime friends of the Paterno familyannounced their intention to endow the positionthat Coach Paterno has held since 1966.

The endowment is the largest individual gift inthe history of Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics.

The Malloys, of Key Largo, Fla., said they intendtheir gift to honor not only the coach’s achieve-ments on the field, but also the values that JoePaterno and his wife, Sue, share off the fieldwith players and the University community.

The University invests endowed gifts in perpetu-ity and uses a portion of the annual income forthe purposes intended by the donor. The remain-ing income is added to the principal to protect itfrom inflation and ensure its growth.

Income from the Malloy Paterno Head FootballCoach Endowment will be directed, at the headcoach’s discretion and with approval from thedirector of athletics, to purposes ranging fromacademic support and special medical care forteam members, to expenses associated withrecruitment of student-athletes and coachingexpenses, excluding salary supplements.

John THOMASSTRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH

Some intense coaching is done out of sight of Penn State fans. John Thomas has alow profile on game-day, but his high profile position as strength and conditioning coach isan important element of the Nittany Lions’ football success.

Thomas, in his 19th season as a member of the Penn State football family, is front andcenter in the weight room where he monitors the team’s strength and conditioning activi-ties. Thomas’ experience, desire for improvement and rapport with the student-athleteshave made him a popular and vital friend amongst the staff and players.

His strenuous regimen throughout the year has been most evident during “winningtime,” as the Lions’ conditioning has helped them secure numerous victories in the fourthquarter.

Thomas was recognized for his achievements with his selection in 2002 for the title ofMaster of Strength and Conditioning Coach, a title then held by just 26 people worldwide.

In 1997, he was named National Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach-of-the-Year by the Professional Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society.

A graduate of Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio, Thomas was a four-yearstarter for the Fighting Muskies. He played defensive tackle for two years and offensiveguard for two more. As a senior in 1983, he was the offensive co-captain, won a spot onthe All-Ohio Valley Athletic Conference first-team, earned his teammates’ nod as theteam’s most valuable offensive player and was a second-team selection on the Pizza HutDivision III All-America team.

Following his graduation with a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education,Thomas spent two years as a graduate assistant football and strength coach at Toledo. Hemoved to the University of the South, where he coached the defensive (1986) and offen-sive lines (1987-89) and served as strength training assistant in football and strength coachfor baseball.

NCAA INSTANT REPLAY� The ObjectiveThe NCAA has established the following list of plays thatare reviewable by the collegiate instant replay system.

� The StandardThere must be indisputable video evidence for an officiat-ing call to be changed by a Technical Advisor working fromthe press box. The replay system will not guarantee that allofficiating mistakes are corrected.

� The SourceAll reviewable video will come direct from the television net-work broadcasting the game and no other source. Thereview process will be limited to what is shown on televi-sion.

� ReviewableThe following plays are subject to review under instant replay.

1. Plays governed by a Sideline, Goal Line, or an End Line:a. Scoring plays, including a runner in possession breaking the plane of the goal line.b. Pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted at a sideline, goal line or end line.c. A runner or pass receiver ruled in or out of bounds.d. Recovery of a loose ball in or out of bounds in the field or end zone.

2. Passing Plays:a. Pass ruled complete, incomplete or intercepted anywhere in the field or end zone.b. Forward pass touched by an ineligible receiver.c. Forward pass touched by a defensive player.d. Fumble ruled on the part of a potential passer. (Note: If the ruling is forward passand the pass is incomplete, the play is not reviewable).

e. Forward pass/handing ruled when a runner is beyond the line of scrimmage.f. Forward pass/handing ruled after a change of possession.g. Pass ruled forward or backward when thrown from behind the line of scrimmage.(Exception: If pass is ruled forward and is incomplete, the play is not reviewable).

3. Other Detectable Infractions:a. Runner ruled to have fumbled. (If runner is ruled down, the play is not reviewable).b. Runner’s forward progress with respect to a first down.c. Touching of any type of kick by any player.d. Number of players participating by either team during a live ball.e. Scrimmage kicker beyond the line of scrimmage when the ball is kicked.f. Clock adjustment when a ruling on the field is reversed.g. Fumble recovery on fourth down or a PAT and before change of possession.

� Not ReviewableEXAMPLES:1. Holding2. Off-sides3. Pass interference4. Personal fouls (late hits)5. Illegal blocks6. Illegal formations7. Face mask8. Taunting/excessive celebration9. False starts10. Roughing passer/kicker11. Fighting participants

� Instant Replay Q&AQ. How does the coaches’ challenge system work?A. Head coaches may utilize a timeout to request a review of aplay no more than once per game. A coach initiates the challengeby taking a timeout before the ball is in play and informing the offi-cial that the ruling on the previous play is being challenged. If theruling is overturned, the timeout will be returned to the team. If theruling is not overturned, the team will lose the timeout. A teammust have a timeout in order to challenge a play and a coach canonly challenge one play per game. Head coaches may not chal-lenge a ruling in which the game was stopped by the TechnicalAdvisor and a decision already has been made on that specific rul-ing. If a head coach requests a timeout to challenge a ruling andthe play is not reviewable, the team loses the timeout. TheTechnical Advisor will continue to examine all reviewable plays.

Q. Is the NCAA instant replay model the same as the NFL?A. In the collegiate model, reviews are conducted by a TechnicalAdvisor in the press box and may occur at any point of the game.In the NFL, the replay booth may only stop a game in the final twominutes of a half. Also in the NFL, head coaches are allowed tochallenge two plays per game. The NCAA model allows headcoaches to challenge one ruling per game by using a timeout.

Q.Which games have instant replay?A. The NCAA does not require the use of the system. For non-conference games, the home team makes the decision to utilizeinstant replay — the visiting team does not have the option ofdeclining.

The 2008 Pennsylvania Class AA Player-of-the-Year, Curtis Drake emerged as a versatile andmulti-talented threat during his true freshman season. After making an immediate impact on thepractice field during preseason camp, it was clear to the coaching staff that he needed to be on thefield from the season’s outset. Drake earned the highest number of offensive plays among the truefreshmen last year and has made substantial progress during his first year as a Nittany Lion. A tal-ented and instinctive player, he saw action in every game last season and will be a strong challengerfor a starting wideout spot this year. An all-state quarterback at West Philadelphia Catholic HS, hemade eight catches for 98 yards, but Drake’s biggest play of the season came with his arm. His 14-yard scoring strike to Andrew Quarless in the third quarter at Michigan State helped trigger a 28-point onslaught in a 42-14 victory that stamped Penn State’s place in another New Year’s Day bowlgame. The swift and intelligent Drake is poised to play a much bigger role on offense and has a verypromising future.

� 2009 � Freshman SeasonPlaying in every game, Drake was one of eight true freshmen to take the field. He made eight

receptions for 98 yards (12.2) and gained 24 yards on just four carries, including a 26-yard end-around in the win over Indiana. He also threw a touchdown pass.

Drake was ready for the challenge whenChaz Powell was injured on the second play of the Indiana game. He made two catches for 34 yards,in addition to his big run. He was a big contributor in the 42-14 win at Michigan State. Drake’s scor-ing strike to tight end Andrew Quarless was a significant one in helping the Nittany Lions to their 10thwin and a New Year’s Day bowl berth. Tied, 7-7, early in the third quarter at Spartan Stadium, Draketook a hand-off from Daryll Clark and appeared headed around the right end, when he pulled up andlofted a pass that Quarless went up and grabbed near the back of the end zone for a 14-7 lead just1:07 into the second half. The play began a 28-point barrage in the third quarter, propelling PennState to the 28-point win. In addition to his touchdown pass, he made two receptions for 22 yardsand had an 18-yard carry against the Spartans, helping the Lions eclipse 500 yards for the fourthtime in 2009. Drake made a key 12-yard reception during Penn State’s game-winning drive againstLSU in the 2010 Capital One Bowl. He was on the field for 186 plays during the 2009 season, ledby 37 at Michigan State and 33 against Indiana.

Garry Gilliam is among a group of young, talented players looking to earn playing time at tightend after the graduation of veterans Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler. Having played defensiveend last year during his redshirt season, Gilliam was shifted to tight end prior to spring drills.

Penn State will have arguably the premier running back tandem in the Big Ten, and possiblyone of the nation’s best, in junior Stephfon Green and senior Evan Royster. The vastly talented andathletic Green is an excellent complement to Royster and is amongst the conference’s fastest andmost athletic players. The swift, hard-working and agile junior has rushed for nearly 900 yards andaveraged 5.1 yards an attempt over the past two seasons. His quickness, vision and ability to avoidwould-be tacklers make him an exciting option to carry or catch the ball. The competitive Green alsohas proven to be a highly-effective and dangerous receiver and kick returner. The Bronx product hasdelivered three of the team’s six longest plays from scrimmage over the past two years, including a52-yard touchdown burst in the win at Illinois last year. A strong runner with a great motor, the ener-getic and enthusiastic Green gained a team-high 124 all-purpose yards against Southern Californiain the 2009 Rose Bowl.

FIVE STARTERS RETURN FROM TOP 10 DEFENSEFive starters return from a defensive unit that was ranked in the Top 10 nationally in rush-

ing and scoring defense in 2009 for the fifth consecutive year and in the Top 15 in total defensefor the sixth straight season.

Senior defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu is a two-year starter and will anchor the line. Juniordefensive end Jack Crawford started every game last season and emerged as a playmaker.Three junior starters return in the secondary in cornerback D’Anton Lynn and safeties DrewAstorino and Nick Sukay.

Five additional defensive players return that have starting experience, including fifth-yearsenior linebacker Bani Gbadyu. The unit also will welcome the return of sophomore linebackerMichael Mauti, who missed the 2009 season with a serious knee injury.

Among the top priorities will be replacing first-team All-America defensive tackle JaredOdrick and all three linebackers from arguably the nation’s top unit — Navorro Bowman, JoshHull and Sean Lee. The trio earned All-Big Ten honors last year, giving “Linebacker U.” threeof the six spots on the all-conference teams. Bowman was a second-team All-American.

Penn State was one of only three teams that finished in the Top 15 nationally in rushing,total and scoring and pass efficiency defense, as well as sacks and tackles for loss in 2009,being joined by Oklahoma and Texas.

The Nittany Lions permitted just 12.2 points per game to rank No. 3 in the nation last sea-son. Penn State led the Big Ten, trailing only Nebraska (10.4 ppg) and Alabama (11.7 ppg)nationally. The Lions held 10 opponents to 17 or fewer points, including five Big Ten oppo-nents.

Penn State was No. 6 nationally in rushing defense, allowing just 89.8 yards per game.The Lions held eight opponents to less than 100 rushing yards. Penn State allowed only fiveruns of 20 yards or more all season, with the longest going for 28 yards. The Nittany Lionshave not allowed a 100-yard rusher in the past 16 games, the nation’s third-best streak, behindonly Alabama (34 games) and Ohio State (23).

Penn State ranked No. 9 in the nation in total defense at 274.5 ypg for its sixth consecu-tive Top 15 finish. The Nittany Lions were No. 15 in pass efficiency defense (105.62 rating),tied for No. 6 in tackles for loss (105, 8.08 avg.) and tied for No. 10 in sacks (37, 2.85 avg.).




Delaware has emerged as a more fertile recruiting state for the Nittany Lions in recent years,with five First State products participating in spring practice. The first of the quintet to arrive in HappyValley was defensive end Eric Latimore, who enrolled at Penn State as a full-time student in January2007. A talented athlete with excellent physical attributes, Latimore has demonstrated the ability tomake big plays for the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defense. He recorded 3.5 sacks last year, the third-high-est total on the team. He split time with Jerome Hayes in the starting lineup last year, making fivestarts, and emerged as the favorite for a starting assignment opposite Jack Crawford as spring drillsconcluded. Latimore’s hard work in the weight room and on the practice field has helped him makesubstantial progress and emerge as a disruptive force capable of making numerous big plays. Afirst-team all-state selection at Middletown HS, he is a highly-skilled and mobile athlete with impos-ing stature. Latimore has good speed and instincts and with continued improvement and consisten-cy, should have an opportunity to play a significant role for the defense the next two seasons.

� 2009 � Junior SeasonLatimore seized the opportunity to earn significant playing time, seeing action in every game,

with five starts. He made 21 tackles, recording 6.0 tackles for loss for minus-22 yards, and one passbreakup. Latimore also recorded 3.5 sacks for minus-18 yards, the third-highest total on the team.He started the initial three games of the season, as well as the Illinois and Eastern Illinois contests,battling Jerome Hayes for the starting nod throughout the season. Latimore made a career-high fivetackles in the win at Illinois, including a sack. He made four hits each against Iowa and Ohio Stateand recorded sacks in the wins over Akron and Northwestern. Latimore added two tackles andforced a fumble on the final play in the thrilling Capital One Bowl victory over LSU. He played on 376snaps, led by 58 against Iowa and 44 against Illinois.

� 2008 � Sophomore SeasonLatimore battled for the top reserve spot behind senior Josh Gaines and saw action in nine

games for the Big Ten Champions. He recorded seven tackles — six of which were solo stops —and had one sack. He made two solo stops in the season-opener against Coastal Carolina, includ-ing a sack for minus-three yards. He also made two tackles each against Syracuse and Temple. Hesaw action on 96 snaps, topped by 18 in each of the first three games of the campaign.


� High SchoolLatimore was a three-year starter for Coach Mark Delpercio at Middletown HS. A team captain,

he was selected first-team all-state and first-team all-conference. He also was a first-team All-Northeast selection by Scout.com. He was sidelined by a shoulder injury during a portion of his sen-ior season, but recorded 24 tackles, 7.5 sacks and forced two fumbles. As a junior, he made 50 tack-les and had 12 sacks, helping his team finish as state runners-up. He played in the 2006 Blue-Goldgame. Latimore also was a member of back-to-back state championship basketball teams, with the2004-05 squad compiling a 26-1 record.

PLAYER BIOS



The abundance of talented football student-athletes from Texas has found a more well-traveledpath to Happy Valley in the past couple of years. Three returnees on the 2010 squad are Lone StarState products, including cornerback D’Anton Lynn. He was one of the most unheralded, but pro-ductive members of the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defense last season, quietly and effectively goingabout his business of covering some of the nation’s top wideouts. Lynn and the secondary tookgreat pride in their efforts to limit Minnesota’s Eric Decker, the Big Ten’s leading receiver at the time,to just one catch in a Homecoming shutout victory. The vastly talented and intelligent Lynn grabbeda hold of one of the starting cornerback spots in preseason and has made substantial progresswhile gaining tremendous experience. A quick, versatile and instinctive student-athlete, Lynn bringsgreat size, intensity and attitude to the field. His father, Anthony Lynn, was an All-SouthwestConference running back at Texas Tech, earned two Super Bowl rings with the Denver Broncos andis the running backs coach with the New York Jets. A tough and determined player, the younger Lynnhas a very promising future and should continue to be a significant contributor for the defense thenext two seasons. An Associated Press Class 3A first-team all-state selection at Celina HS, Lynnjoins redshirt freshmen Anthony Fera and Frank Figueroa as returning Nittany Lions from the LoneStar State.

� 2009 � Sophomore SeasonLynn earned a starting assignment at one of the cornerback posts and held onto it throughout

the season. He garnered honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades and was instrumental in PennState’s Top 10 defense. Lynn made 35 tackles (26 solo), eighth on the team and tops among cor-nerbacks. He recorded 3.5 tackles for loss, including half a sack against Iowa, and five passbreakups. Lynn stepped into a unit that had some uncertainty at the start of the season due to inex-perience and was a productive and stabilizing factor. He recorded a career-high eight tackles (fivesolo) in the 34-13 win at Northwestern, helping hold the Wildcats to less than half their season scor-ing average. Lynn made six solo stops in the Senior Day win over Indiana to help ensure that cor-ners A.J. Wallace and Knowledge Timmons were victorious in their final home game. Lynn helpedhold Minnesota’s Eric Decker, the Big Ten’s leading receiver at the time, to just one catch in a 20-0Homecoming win over the Golden Gophers. He recorded three solo tackles, with a minus-yardageplay, in the 42-14 win at Michigan State, helping hold the Spartans to 94 rushing yards and 17 pointsbelow their season scoring figure. He had five hits in the win over Eastern Illinois. He was on the fieldfor 790 snaps last season, the team’s eighth-highest total among returnees, topped by 81 againstIndiana and 79 in the win at Illinois.

� 2008 � Freshman SeasonLynn made his collegiate debut against Temple, returning a punt, and played in nine of the last

10 contests on defense and special teams. He was one of four true freshmen to see action duringthe Big Ten Championship season. He emerged as the top reserve to Tony Davis at one of the cor-nerback spots. Lynn made three tackles during the season, with two pass breakups and a puntreturn for 10 yards against Temple. He made two hits in the 48-7 win at Wisconsin and one stopagainst the Owls. Lynn was on the field for 92 snaps, led by 20 against Temple.

� High SchoolLynn was a standout at a variety of positions for Coach Butch Ford at Celina HS. He played

defensive back, linebacker, quarterback, running back and wide receiver for the Bobcats. Lynn wasinstrumental in Celina winning the 2007 Texas Class 3A Division 2 state championship with a 16-0record. The Bobcats also were the 2006 state runners-up, with a 15-1 record. He earned AssociatedPress Class 3A first-team all-state accolades as a senior and was rated Scout.com’s No. 17 defen-sive back in the nation. A team captain, Lynn recorded 60 tackles (37 solo) and grabbed five inter-ceptions in 2007, returning two for touchdowns. As a junior, Lynn missed most of the season withan injury, but gained 337 rushing yards, recorded 57 tackles, forced two fumbles and recovered apair of fumbles. He was named first-team all-area in 2006. Lynn also was a captain on the track andfield squad.

� PersonalAnthony Raymond Lynn II is the son of Anthony and Cynda Lynn. He has one younger sister,

Danielle. His father is the running backs coach for the New York Jets and played at Texas Tech,earning All-Southwest Conference honors at running back as a junior.

TRIO OF STARTERS RETURN IN PENN STATE SECONDARYPenn State will return five players with significant experience in the secondary, including

three starters.Starting cornerback A.J. Wallace has departed and the top candidate likely will be soph-

omore Stephon Morris, who played in every game last year on defense and special teams.The hard-hitting Morris made 30 tackles and likely will join junior D’Anton Lynn in the startingunit. Lynn made significant strides last year while starting every game, recording 35 stops (26solo), with 3.5 TFL and five pass breakups. Chaz Powell moved from wideout to cornerbackin spring drills and should challenge for significant playing time.

Juniors Drew Astorino (62 tackles, 1 interception) and Nick Sukay (41 tackles, 2 intercep-tions, 11 pass breakups) are returning starters at the safety positions. Astorino was fourth onthe squad in tackles and also recovered two fumbles. Sukay was challenged by injuries earli-er in his career, but he made very good progress last season and ranked No. 3 in the Big Tenwith 13 passes defended.

Junior Andrew Dailey (6 tackles, 1 interception) also has extensive experience in the sec-ondary and will challenge for significant playing time.

There may not be another Nittany Lion more anxious for preseason camp than redshirt soph-omore Pete Massaro. The talented, instinctive and intelligent Massaro was looking like he wouldemerge as a contributor last season, but a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the 2009 Blue-Whitegame ended his year. Massaro has made great progress in his rehabilitation and was able to partic-ipate in non-contact drills during spring practice. He should be 100 percent prior to preseason campand will be ready to have an impact in 2010. He will join defensive ends Jack Crawford, KevionLatham, Eric Latimore and Sean Stanley on a unit that finished tied for first in the Big Ten with 37sacks in 2009. A second-team all-state selection at Marple Newton HS in greater Philadelphia,Massaro has the skills and desire to emerge as a contributor in 2010. Massaro is one of the squad’stop students, owning a 3.82 grade-point average through the spring semester. He is among 14returning Nittany Lions from Eastern Pennsylvania.

� 2009 � Sophomore SeasonMassaro tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Blue-White game and

was sidelined for the season.


� High SchoolMassaro was a three-year starter on both sides of the ball for Coach Ray Gionta at Marple

Newtown HS.

Michael Mauti is enthused for the start of preseason camp and an opportunity to return to thefield and challenge for a starting linebacker assignment. Mauti tore the anterior cruciate ligament inhis right knee last August in practice, sidelining him for the 2009 season and he took a medical red-shirt. His diligent, hard work has allowed him to make excellent progress in his rehabilitation and heshould be 100 percent by the start of preseason drills. A U.S. Army All-American at Mandeville HS,Mauti was one of three true freshmen to play in every game in 2008. The hard work and efforts hedisplayed after the 2009 Rose Bowl convinced the coaching staff to present Mauti with the JimO’Hora Award, given to the defense’s most improved player during spring practice. A vastly talentedand intelligent student-athlete, Mauti is a gifted linebacker who should be a strong challenger for astarting assignment with the loss of three all-conference players from “Linebacker U.” He has theskills, tenacity and instincts to emerge as a starter and a player who will see considerable time forthe defense and special teams the next three seasons. Mauti is best known amongst the Penn Statefaithful for the crushing hit he laid on a Michigan player on a kickoff return, forcing a fumble duringthe 2008 matchup. His highlight-reel hit sparked the Nittany Lion defense and the 110,017Homecoming fans rocking Beaver Stadium in the Penn State win. Michael and his older brother,Patrick (2005-09), are part of the long line of brother tandems to play for Joe Paterno, who alsocoached their father, Rich, in the mid-1970s.

� 2009 � Sophomore SeasonMauti tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during an August practice, sidelining

him for the season. He took a medical redshirt season.

� 2008 � Freshman SeasonMauti proved to be an immediate asset for the defense and special teams after graduating from

high school early and enrolling in the University in January 2008. One of three true freshmen to playin every game, he made 26 tackles, with one minus-yardage stop and a fumble hit. He made a sea-son-high seven tackles against Michigan, including one for a two-yard loss. He delivered one of thebiggest hits of the season when he leveled Wolverine Sam McGuffie on a kickoff return, forcing afumble. The Wolverines recovered the pigskin, but Mauti’s hit charged the Nittany Lion defense andfaithful in erasing a 10-0 deficit to win, 46-17. Mauti also made three stops each in the wins overIndiana and Michigan State and had two hits in four other games. Mauti saw action on 249 snaps,led by 33 against the Wolverines and 30 against Southern California in the Rose Bowl. He made fourtackles in the 2009 Blue-White game and was the recipient of the Jim O’Hora Award, presented tothe defense’s most improved player during spring practice.

Just as one former Eleanor Roosevelt (Md.) HS standout departed Happy Valley, two morearrived also ready to make a big impact for the Nittany Lions. The impact Derrick Williams had onthe Penn State program is well-documented, as he, Justin King and several 2009 seniors made theircommitment to Penn State during the 2005 signing period, pledging to return the Nittany Lions tonational championship contention. They did that and more so, with last year’s seniors delivering 51career wins. Recent Eleanor Roosevelt standouts Stephon Morris and cornerback Derrick Thomasarrived on campus in July 2009. Morris also needed little time before becoming an important con-tributor for the Nittany Lions. An exceptional cornerback, running back and kick returner at EleanorRoosevelt, the athletic and highly-skilled Morris made a seamless transition into a prominent con-tributor for Penn State’s Top 10 defense during his true freshman season. Possessing great instinctsand work-ethic, he was on the field for 505 snaps, the highest total among the 2009 true freshmen.He should be a strong challenger for a starting assignment this year with the departure of A.J.Wallace. Morris’ impact is felt as a productive corner and special teams player and by the opposi-tion, as he easily is among the squad’s biggest hitters. An aggressive and sure tackler, Morris shouldbe a prime contender for a starting job in the secondary and has a very bright future over the nextthree seasons. He is one of 10 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland.

� 2009 � Freshman SeasonMorris saw action in all 13 games and logged the most plays among the eight true freshmen

who earned playing time. He made 30 tackles (24 solo), grabbed an interception and broke up twopasses. He also delivered one hit for a loss at Michigan State, where he made his first career start.With A.J. Wallace injured and out of the lineup, Morris made the most of his first career start in thebattle for the Land Grant Trophy. The aggressive defender tied his season-high with five tackles (foursolo) and played a significant role in limiting the Spartans to just 14 points, 17 below their average.In the Capital One Bowl against LSU, he tied his season-high by recording five solo tackles in thebig 19-17 win. Morris also posted a season-high five stops against Ohio State. He made three solostops in the 34-13 win at Northwestern and three hits in the Senior Day victory over Indiana. Morrissaw his playing time increase in the second half of the season as he became more comfortable,making 23 stops in the final six games. He pulled down his first career interception at Illinois on aJuice Williams’ pass, returning it 70 yards on the final play of the first half. In addition to playing asignificant role in the secondary, Morris established himself as an impact player on special teams.He was on the field for 505 snaps, the highest total among the 2009 true freshmen, led by 77 in thewin at Northwestern and 70 against Indiana.

Any questions as to how the Penn State receiving corps would fare after losing three of itsmost prolific pass catchers in program history to graduation were quickly answered in the 2009 sea-son-opener with Akron. In his first career start, Derek Moye exhibited some of the skills and athleti-cism that had made him an all-state running back and state champion sprinter at Rochester HS. Heset career-highs with six receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown, averaging 23.0 yards percatch. The receiving yardage was a 2009 team season-high and set the tone for numerous superbperformances last season by Moye, who earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition.

His48 receptions were tied for No. 7 in school season history and his 785 receiving yards were good forNo. 13. The six-catch effort against Akron would be the first of four contests in 2009 where Moyemade half a dozen grabs, including three consecutive wins. The sure-handed and strong Moye is aprobable all-conference candidate this year and will join Brett Brackett and Graham Zug as the onlyupperclassmen among the Nittany Lions’ talented receiving corps. A starter in every game last year,Moye uses his excellent size and athleticism to pose matchup problems for opposing secondaries.He led the squad with 16 receptions of 20 yards or more last year. With continued hard work, Moyealready has demonstrated he has the skills and speed to make big plays and be a game-changerthe next two seasons. He won Penn State Uplifting Athletes’ 2010 Video Challenge to promoteawareness for Global Rare Disease Day. A four-sport standout at Rochester HS, Moye won the 200-meter (:22.15) and 400-meter (:48.04) Class AA state titles at the 2007 Pennsylvania state track andfield championships.

� 2009 � Junior SeasonAny questions as to how the Penn State receiving corps would fare after losing three of its most

prolific pass catchers in program history to graduation were quickly answered in the season-openerwith Akron. In his first career start, Moye set career-highs with six receptions for 138 yards and onetouchdown, averaging 23.0 yards per catch. The 138 receiving yards were a 2009 team season-highand the most by a Nittany Lion since Deon Butler posted a school-record 216 yards againstNorthwestern in 2006. Moye made four receptions of 20 yards or more against the Zips, including aleaping 42-yard effort to get the Lions deep into Akron territory and set up a touchdown late in thefirst half for a 31-0 lead. The game was the first of numerous superb performances by Moye, whoearned honorable-mention All-Big Ten recognition. Starting every game, he led the team with 48receptions for 785 yards (16.4) and had six touchdown catches. Moye was ninth in the Big Ten inreceiving yardage at 60.4 ypg and his 16.4-yard average per catch was second-highest among theconference’s top 10 receivers. His 48 receptions were tied for No. 7 in school season history and his785 receiving yards were good for No. 13. He led the squad with 16 receptions of 20 yards or more.The six-catch effort against Akron would be the first of four contests where Moye made half a dozengrabs, including three consecutive victories. He led the team with six receptions for 120 yards in the20-0 Homecoming win over Minnesota. Moye made a superb 12-yard diving touchdown catch andmanaged to drag a foot in bounds to give the Lions a 13-0 lead near the end of the first half.

Moye tied his career-high for thethird consecutive game with six receptions at Northwestern, gaining 123 yards. The 100-yard receiv-ing game was his third of the year. Moye streaked past his defender down the sideline and grabbeda 53-yard scoring strike from Daryll Clark in the fourth quarter to give the Nittany Lions a 27-13 lead.The 53-yard reception was the longest of his career. Moye made a four-yard touchdown catchagainst Temple, made two catches for 48 yards against Iowa and had a 25-yard scoring grab againstEastern Illinois. In the 42-14 victory at Michigan State, Moye was active in the offensive outburst,hauling in four receptions for 56 yards to help Clark accumulate 310 passing yards.

SEVEN RETURNING OFFENSIVE STARTERSThe Nittany Lion offense returns seven starters, as well as five other players with start-

ing experience. The most pressing needs will be finding replacements for record-setting quar-terback Daryll Clark, tight ends Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler and tackle DennisLandolt, a third-team All-American.

Penn State was second in the Big Ten in total offense at 406.9 ypg and was the only teamto rank in the top five in the conference in rushing, passing, scoring and total offense.

The starting offensive unit welcomes back senior tailback Evan Royster, a Doak WalkerAward candidate and 2009 first-team All-Big Ten selection. Three starting wide receiversreturn in Derek Moye, Chaz Powell and Graham Zug, but Powell spent spring practice work-ing at cornerback.

Three offensive line starters are back as well: Stefen Wisniewski, Lou Eliades andDeOn’tae Pannell. Wisniewski was moved back to guard in the spring, where he played in2008, after earning first-team All-Big Ten accolades at center last year.

Several times a day, the pre-Christmas quiet at the Hilton Daytona Beach Hotel would be pleas-antly broken by the sound of a grand piano on the second floor. When there was an opportunitybefore or after practice, meals and position meetings, Kevin Newsome honed his skills and enter-tained his teammates and coaches with his elegant piano playing. A young man with a vibrant per-sonality and infectious smile, Newsome enjoys playing when the opportunity arises. Having arrivedon the Penn State campus in January 2009, the highly-regarded player last year had the luxury ofknowing he was going to spend 12 months learning from a first-team All-Big Ten quarterback inDaryll Clark. He also knew that he needed to quickly get assimilated and comfortable with theoffense with a long-term eye toward 2010, but sooner in order to gain some game experience whileClark still was guiding the team. The athletic, vastly talented and intelligent Newsome has made sub-stantial progress during the past year and is working hard to put himself into position to challengefor a more significant role this year. Newsome and Matt McGloin battled throughout spring practiceand a decision on who will be the Nittany Lions’ starting quarterback won’t be made until closer tothe season-opener. A U.S. Army All-American at Hargrave Military Academy, Newsome is animproved passer and a quick and elusive runner. He has great work-ethic and is a physical, instinc-tive player with a strong arm. One of the nation’s most highly-recruited prep players, he has quicklyadapted and embraced what it takes to be a successful Penn State student-athlete, on and off thefield and has a very promising future. Newsome is an engaging and enthusiastic player, whose con-fidence and skills will effectively translate into the huddle. A state champion hurdler in Virginia,Newsome is one of three returning Nittany Lions — joining Evan Hailes and Chima Okoli — in thelong line of Tidewater Region standouts that have matriculated to Penn State under Joe Paterno.

� 2009 � Freshman SeasonNewsome played in 10 games and made substantial progress during his first year as a Nittany

Lion. The top reserve to first-team All-Big Ten choice Daryll Clark, Newsome completed 8-of-11passes (72.7) for 66 yards, with a long completion of 14 yards during his true freshman season.

New York City doesn’t have a Football Bowl Subdivision/Division I-A program to call its own,but through the years thousands of college football fans in the Big Apple have adopted Penn Stateas their team. A steady stream of gridiron standouts from New York City, Long Island and northernNew Jersey have made their way to Happy Valley. And, of course, Joe Paterno is one of their own,having been born and raised in Brooklyn. This year, there are four Nittany Lions from the New Yorkside of the metropolitan area, including Staten Island’s Ollie Ogbu. He has played a prominent rolefor the Nittany Lions’ Top 10 defense the past two years and again will be counted on for significantcontributions as a fifth-year senior. A strong, quick and highly-skilled athlete, Ogbu has started 22games over the past two seasons. He brings a great attitude and enthusiasm to the field and takesa fierce pride in the Nittany Lions continuing to rank among the nation’s most difficult teams to runthe ball against. Penn State has not allowed a 100-yard rusher in the last 16 games, the nation’sthird-longest streak. The Nittany Lions held eight opponents to less than 100 rushing yards last sea-son and ranked No. 6 in the nation in rushing defense at a measly 89.8 yards per game. The formerMilford Academy All-American is an intense competitor with a relentless attitude and motor and theability to make big plays. The hard-working and tough Ogbu goes about his business and quietly puttogether a highly productive campaign last season, recording eight minus-yardage hits among his 30tackles. He is on schedule to graduate in December. Ogbu is among seven Nittany Lion returneesfrom the Empire State.

Heranked sixth in TFL on a team that led the Big Ten and was sixth in the nation in minus-yardage plays(8.08 per game). Ogbu was instrumental in helping the Nittany Lions hold eight opponents to lessthan 100 rushing yards and ranking No. 6 in the nation in rushing defense at 89.8 yards per game.He recorded a career-high six tackles in the season-opening 31-7 win over Akron, including 2.5 TFL.He helped hold the Zips to eight first downs (none in the first half), 28 rushing yards and 186 totalyards. Ogbu made three tackles against Temple and forced a fumble that was recovered by DrewAstorino at the Owls’ 23 and led to a field goal. He made two tackles in the 52-3 victory over EasternIllinois. Ogbu recorded a sack, 1.5 TFL and a forced fumble that Navorro Bowman returned 91 yardsfor a touchdown in the Eastern Illinois game, the longest fumble return in program history. The relent-less Ogbu had three stops in the 20-0 blanking of Minnesota, including a minus-yardage play. Hehad a big game in the 34-13 win at Northwestern, recording four tackles and a sack, as the Lionsheld the Wildcats to less than half their season scoring average. In the 42-14 victory at MichiganState, Ogbu made two tackles, including one for a loss. He helped the Nittany Lions hold theSpartans 17 points below their scoring average and to just 94 yards rushing. Ogbu recorded twotackles and forced a fumble in the big win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. Ogbu saw action on423 snaps, led by 43 against Iowa.

� 2008 � Junior SeasonOgbu played in every game for the second consecutive year, helping Penn State rank No. 8 in

the nation in rushing defense, allowing just 93.2 yards per game. A starter in nine contests, Ogburecorded 17 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for losses, with two sacks.

He saw action on 369 snaps, led by 43 against Oregon State.

� 2007 � Sophomore SeasonPlaying in every game, with four starts, Ogbu was fourth on the squad with 10.0 TFL for minus-

29 yards. Only All-Big Ten honorees Maurice Evans, Dan Connor and Sean Lee delivered moreminus-yardage plays than Ogbu.

Okoli brings good strength, skills and size to the field and has made very good progressat his new position, where he will look to challenge Lou Eliades. Okoli earned first-team all-state andAll-Tidewater accolades at Salem HS. One of seven children, his second cousin is Emeka Okafor,the 2005 NBA Rookie-of-the-Year with the Charlotte Bobcats. Okoli joins freshman Evan Hailes andsophomore Kevin Newsome in the long line of Penn Staters from the talent-rich Tidewater Regionof Virginia.

one of the nation’s top units. He recorded a tackle in the season-opener against Akron.

� 2008 � Sophomore SeasonOkoli played in eight games, providing depth and steady play for one of the nation’s top defens-

es. He made his first career stop in the 55-13 victory at Syracuse. Okoli was on the field for 84 snaps,topped by 17 each against Coastal Carolina and Syracuse.


� High SchoolOkoli earned first-team Associated Press all-state, All-Tidewater Region and All-Virginia Beach

honors for Coach Robert Jackson at Salem HS. During his senior campaign, he recorded 85 tack-les and 15 sacks and received first-team All-Gameday Magazine accolades.

The 2009 campaign was a tale of three varying segments for DeOn’tae Pannell, all encom-passed within the 12 weeks of the regular-season. Heading into the season, Penn State had threeholes on the offensive line left by three graduated All-Big Ten starters that needed to be filled. Aftera strong spring practice, Pannell found himself atop the depth chart at left tackle. But, in August, thetalented and strong sophomore flipped tackle spots with Dennis Landolt and started the initial fourgames at right tackle. During the Illinois game, the former Wylie E. Groves HS standout sprained anankle, though, forcing him to the sideline. Pannell missed the next two games and returned to thefield to help Penn State win at Michigan and at Northwestern. During the Ohio State game, left guardJohnnie Troutman suffered a leg injury. The following week, Pannell was shifted to left guard, wherehe started the final two regular-season contests, helping the Nittany Lions score a combined 73points in victories over Indiana and Michigan State. The highly-skilled and versatile Pannell is aninstrumental member of an offensive line that helped Penn State average 4.7 yards per carry and406.9 yards per game, second-best in the Big Ten last year. He remained at left guard during springdrills and he and Troutman likely will continue their competition during preseason camp. A first-teamall-state player from suburban Detroit, he is a big athlete with good agility. Pannell has a great work-ethic, attitude and physical attributes and should have an opportunity to play a significant role for theoffense the next two seasons. Pannell is one of the squad’s most active members in communityservice. The past two years, he has been among the 25-30 Nittany Lions that welcomed more than30 THON Make-A-Wish children to the Lasch Football Building during THON Weekend in February.This past May, Pannell and five teammates traveled to Mifflintown, Pa. to participate in a Children’sMiracle Network Kids’ Fun Fest. Pannell and linebacker Chris Colasanti are returning Nittany Lionsfrom Michigan.

Nittany Nation, and the opposition, have witnessed the difference Chaz Powell can make in agame. On Penn State’s first play against Iowa last year, wideout Powell flew downfield past aHawkeye defender, looked up into the Beaver Stadium lights, saw the pigskin hurtling toward himthrough the rain, gained separation and caught the ball in stride near the 35-yard line, racing into theend zone as the Whitehouse crowd of 109,316 erupted. The 79-yard scoring strike was tied for theeighth-longest completion in school history and highlighted the athleticism and skills Powell bringsto the field. A month later in Ann Arbor, Powell returned the opening kickoff of the second half 54yards, the Nittany Lions’ longest kickoff return of the season. The huge return set up a touchdownin Penn State’s 35-10 win in Michigan Stadium. With the Nittany Lions loaded with many talentedwideouts, the athletic and swift Powell moved to cornerback prior to spring practice. It has been agood transition for the former Susquehannock HS standout, who played safety during his freshmanredshirt season in 2007. He will be looking to challenge sophomore Stephon Morris for a startingassignment and thrust himself into the secondary rotation. Powell is a gifted, hard-working and con-fident young man who with continued great effort should play a significant role with the defense andspecial teams the next two seasons.

� 2009 � Junior SeasonPlaying in 12 games, with nine starts at wide receiver, Powell was fourth on the squad with 28

receptions for 366 yards (13.1) and three touchdowns. He was ninth in the Big Ten in kickoff returnswith a 23.2-yard average, with a long of 54 yards. He was on the field for 395 snaps, led by 53against the Hawkeyes. Powell made a team and career-high seven receptions for 65 yards in theseason-opening win over Akron, including an eight-yard touchdown reception from Daryll Clark. Hemade his first career start against Syracuse and led the team with four catches for 40 yards againstTemple. In the primetime meeting with Iowa, Powell made three receptions for a career-high 96yards. As Powell crossed midfield on Penn State’s first play from scrimmage against the Hawkeyes,he looked up into the Beaver Stadium lights, saw the pigskin hurtling toward him through the rain,gained separation and caught the ball in stride near the 35-yard line, racing into the end zone as theWhitehouse crowd of 109,316 erupted. The 79-yard scoring strike was the longest catch of Powell’scareer, Clark’s longest career completion and Penn State’s longest play from scrimmage in 2009.The play also was tied for the eighth-longest completion in school history. Powell led the Lions withfour catches for 79 yards in the Eastern Illinois game, including a leaping 51-yard catch. He addeda 19-yard reverse. Powell kept a drive alive at Michigan when he picked up 11 big yards on a reverseplay on third down. He delivered a big play at Michigan when he returned the opening kickoff of thesecond half 54 yards, the Lions’ longest kickoff return of 2009. The return set up a touchdown inthe 35-10 win. Powell made five receptions for 39 yards in the 34-13 win at Northwestern. He had asix-yard run on the second play of the Indiana game, but left with a shoulder injury. He did not playin the win at Michigan State due to the shoulder injury. Powell returned to the starting lineup in theCapital One Bowl victory over LSU, where he hauled in one reception for 11 yards.

� 2008 � Sophomore SeasonOn his second collegiate carry in the season-opener with Coastal Carolina, Powell took the ball

around the right end and broke free down the sideline, scoring on a 55-yard run in the third quarter.He gained 60 yards on two carries to launch a successful redshirt freshman campaign. Powell accu-mulated 370 all-purpose yards, the second-highest total among non-starters. He averaged 28.8yards on nine kickoff returns, led by a 69-yard burst at Syracuse to set up a Collin Wagner field goalin the third quarter. Powell gained 74 rushing yards on eight carries, for a team-best 9.2-yard aver-age, and two touchdowns. He also caught two passes against the Orange for 37 yards, with a longof 22 yards, giving him a season-best 105 all-purpose yards. Powell tallied his second career touch-down on a seven-yard run in the win over Temple. He had a strong special teams effort in the winagainst Michigan, returning two kickoffs for 75 yards. His 43-yard return after the Wolverines hadtaken a 10-0 lead provided a big momentum boost for the Nittany Lions. Two plays later, EvanRoyster burst up the middle on a 44-yard score to begin a 46-7 run to end the game. Powell alsoreturned a kickoff 25 yards in the 49-18 victory over Michigan State. In the 2009 Rose Bowl againstSouthern California, Powell gained 58 yards on three kickoff returns. He was on the field for 141plays, led by 26 snaps against the Wolverines.

LINEBACKER UNIT TO FEATURE THREE NEW STARTERSAmong the most compelling battles during preseason camp should be the ones for sig-

nificant playing time at linebacker. Seniors Bani Gbadyu (37 tackles) and Chris Colasanti (18tackles, 1 sack), junior Nate Stupar (31 tackles, 1 sack) and sophomores Gerald Hodges (3tackles) and Michael Mauti (26 tackles, 1.0 TFL in 2008) figure to be the primary challengers.Mauti took a medical redshirt last season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament inpreseason practice last fall.

Gbadyu has eight career starts and played in every game last season, as did Stupar, whostarted two games when Navorro Bowman was hurt and made a career-high 12 tacklesagainst Akron.

Evan Royster has distinguished himself amongst all the superlative running backs that haveworn the blue and white. His 22-yard burst on his first carry in last season’s win at Michigan Statepushed him past the 1,000-yard mark for the second consecutive year, becoming just the seventhNittany Lion to record multiple 1,000-yard campaigns. The vastly talented and intelligent Royster hasjoined a great fraternity. Curt Warner, Tony Hunt, Blair Thomas, Curtis Enis, Ki-Jana Carter andHeisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti are the only other Lions to accomplish the feat. Selected athird-team preseason All-American by Phil Steele’s College Preview, the quick and elusive Roysteralready has passed some of the Penn State greats in career rushing, entering the season in eighthplace with 2,918 yards. An All-America and Doak Walker Award candidate, Royster stands 481 yardsaway from breaking Warner’s school career record of 3,398 rushing yards. Penn State began lastseason with three new offensive linemen and four different starting O-Line units in the first sixgames, but the instinctive and strong Royster built on his successful 2008 campaign. His 5.7-yardper carry average led all conference players with at least 110 carries last year and he eclipsed the100-yard mark in six games, giving him 12 career century-busting performances. It should come asno surprise that when Royster has success on the ground the team benefits, as Penn State is 12-0when he cracks the century mark. The tough and multi-talented Royster was selected 2009 first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches and media after receiving second-team accolades in 2008. He wasNo. 2 in the Big Ten in rushing at 89.9 ypg and fifth in all-purpose yards (104.9 ypg). A quiet, matureand no-nonsense young man, Royster goes about his business on the field with great determinationand a sense of purpose. He gained 1,169 yards on 205 carries in 2009, with six touchdowns. Healso had 16 receptions for 187 yards (11.7) and two scores and tallied a team-high 1,364 all-purposeyards. He has tremendous vision and the ability to quickly adapt while carrying the ball in order tomaximize the opportunities each play presents. Royster is an accomplished all-around student-ath-lete who also was a highly-recruited lacrosse player at Westfield HS. Selected to play in the presti-gious North-South All-American lacrosse game, he had offers from perennial lacrosse powers JohnsHopkins and Virginia, among others, to play lacrosse. But, the opportunity to play for a Hall of Famecoach, play Big Ten football in arguably the nation’s best atmosphere and earn a world-class edu-cation won out. One of 10 semifinalists for the 2008 Doak Walker Award, Royster is a gifted runner,receiver and blocker. Royster was on schedule to earn his degree in management information sys-tems in August. He compiled a 3.34 grade-point average during the spring semester.

� 2009 � Senior SeasonPenn State began the season with three new offensive linemen and four different starting O-

Line units in the first six games, but Royster built on his successful 2008 campaign by eclipsing the100-yard mark in six games, giving him 12 career century-busting performances. Royster wasselected 2009 first-team All-Big Ten by the coaches and media after receiving second-team acco-lades in 2008. He was No. 2 in the Big Ten in rushing at 89.9 ypg and his 5.7-yard per carry aver-age was first among all conference players with at least 110 carries. Royster also was fifth in the BigTen in all-purpose yards (104.9 ypg). He gained 1,169 yards on 205 carries in 2009, with six touch-downs. He also had 16 receptions for 187 yards (11.7) and two scores and tallied a team-high 1,364all-purpose yards. Royster made a career-long 49-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter of the28-7 win over Syracuse. His 61 receiving yards for the game also were a career-high. Royster car-ried the ball 19 times for 134 yards in the win over Temple. He gave Penn State a 14-3 lead in thesecond quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run and gained 119 yards on just 15 carries in the firsthalf, including a 33-yard burst. Royster became the 17th Nittany Lion to eclipse 2,000 career rush-ing yards in the Iowa game. He had 105 yards and scored a touchdown in the victory at Illinois.Royster and Stephfon Green (120 yards) became the first tandem of Nittany Lion running backs toeclipse 100 yards in a Big Ten game in the win in Champaign. Royster ran for 94 yards on just eightcarries (11.8), all in the first half, in Penn State’s 52-3 victory over Eastern Illinois. He delivered aseason-high 137 yards on 23 carries against Minnesota and had a 20-carry, 100-yard rushing per-formance in the 35-10 win at Michigan. Royster had a 41-yard dash on the Lions’ first drive to set upa touchdown in Ann Arbor. Royster gained 118 yards on 15 carries in the 34-13 win at Northwestern.He sprinted for a 69-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, the longest run of his career and theteam’s longest run of the season. Royster tallied 134 all-purpose yards against Indiana (96 rushing,39 receiving) in the 31-20 Senior Day victory. He had one touchdown rushing and a 13-yard receiv-ing touchdown. Royster surpassed the 100-yard mark for the sixth time of the season by gaining 114yards in the 42-14 win at Michigan State. He eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the second consecu-tive season on a 22-yard run on Penn State’s opening drive at Michigan State. He also had a 30-yard burst, averaging 8.8 yards on his 13 carries against the Spartans. Royster cracked the centurymark for the 12th time in his career and the Lions remained unbeaten in such contests. He came upbig in the 19-17 victory over LSU in the Capital One Bowl as he ran for 65 yards on 17 carries inchallenging conditions. Royster was on the field for 593 plays, led by 64 in the win over Minnesota.

� 2008 � Junior SeasonTalented and experienced offensive line and wide receiver units and a highly-effective throwing

and running quarterback produced a great situation for Royster, who won the primary ball-carryingduties in preseason and had a breakout campaign. Royster was impressive, gaining 1,236 rushingyards on 191 attempts (6.5) and scoring 12 touchdowns. One of 10 semifinalists for the 2008 DoakWalker Award, Royster’s 1,236 yards ranked as the 10th-best rushing season in Penn State historyand were a school record for a sophomore, eclipsing Curtis Enis’ 1,210 yards in 1996. Royster alsoranked third on the squad with 17 receptions for 155 yards, compiling 1,391 all-purpose yards, sec-ond only to Derrick Williams.

est in the Big Ten among non-kickers. His eye-popping 6.47 per carry average was third-highestamong the nation’s Top 30 rushers. With the Nittany Lions putting up big numbers in offensiveyardage and on the scoreboard, it wasn’t until the 10th game of the season that Royster carried theball more than 20 times in a contest, enabling him to remain fresher and take less of a poundingthan other runners as the season progressed.

OGBU TO LEAD DEFENSIVE LINEIn addition to Jared Odrick, the Nittany Lions have lost the services of defensive end

Jerome Hayes, who was a strong leader within the 2009 senior class. Senior defensive tack-le Ollie Ogbu will be counted on to provide continued strong play and leadership for the defen-sive line. A two-year starter, he made 30 tackles, with 8.0 tackles for loss, two sacks and ateam-high three forced fumbles last year.

Junior Devon Still made significant strides last season coming off two injuries and shouldbe a strong contender for the other starting tackle spot. He made 19 stops last season, with5.5 TFL and two sacks.

Junior defensive end Jack Crawford started every game in 2009 and emerged as one ofthe Big Ten’s top defensive play-makers. Crawford was second on the team with 14.5 TFL,including 5.5 sacks for minus-44 yards, and ranked in the Top 10 in the conference in both cat-egories. Junior Eric Latimore started five contests last year and also has demonstrated big-play capability, recording 3.5 sacks among his six minus-yardage plays.

It has been a long and challenging road for defensive tackle Devon Still, but last year heemerged as one of the squad’s most improved players during his first full season on the field. Havingsuffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee as a true freshman in 2007, Still’s hard workin his rehabilitation seemingly went for naught when he suffered a broken ankle during preseasoncamp in 2008. Still battled back to play in the regular-season finale with Michigan State that year andafter remaining healthy through the 2009 spring practice and preseason, became a valuable contrib-utor for the D-Line. Nittany Nation should have much more of an opportunity this fall to see the skillsand athleticism that made him an all-state defensive tackle at Howard Technology HS. With the grad-uation of All-American Jared Odrick, Still should be a primary contender for a starting assignmentin 2010. He finished spring practice atop the depth chart at one of the defensive tackle spots. Stillhas great physical attributes, talent and a hard-charging motor.

He made a career-highthree tackles each against Syracuse and Ohio State and had two stops in six other games. Herecorded two tackles in the big Capital One Bowl win over LSU, including one for negative yardage.Still was on the field for 348 plays, led by 45 in the win over Indiana and 40 each against Illinois andMichigan.

� 2008 � Sophomore SeasonAfter doing a great job in his rehabilitation of a torn ACL in his left knee, Still entered presea-

son camp with an opportunity to earn a spot in the defensive tackle rotation. But, he was dealt anoth-er setback, suffering a broken left ankle in August. Driven by the desire to make his Penn State debutin 2008, Still again worked hard in his rehab and saw action on 10 snaps in the regular-season finalewin over Michigan State.


� High SchoolStill was a team captain for Coach Dan Ritter at Howard Technology HS. He was named all-

state his senior year and was ranked the No. 12 defensive tackle recruit nationally. He was selectedthe Co-Lineman-of-the-Year by the Delaware Interscholastic Coaches Association.

Penn State has led the nation each of the past two years in ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® selections, with five in 2008 and three last year. Over the past four seasons, 12 NittanyLions have earned Academic All-America® honors, including linebackers Paul Posluszny, Tim Shawand Josh Hull. The “Linebacker U.” tradition of excellence on the field and in the classroom looks tokeep rolling this fall, with senior Chris Colasanti and junior Nate Stupar as likely Academic All-America® candidates. The talented and instinctive Stupar finished spring drills atop the depth chartat one of the outside linebacker spots. He is one of the squad’s top students, owning a 3.60 grade-point average after the spring semester, having compiled a 3.85 GPA for the second consecutivesemester to again earn Dean’s List recognition. The hard-hitting, athletic and intense Stupar is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. Interested in becoming a film director when his football careeris over, Stupar spent a portion of his summer doing an internship with a video production crew atCamp Woodward, near State College. The breadth of talent at “Linebacker U.” never was more evi-dent than at the beginning of last season, when both of Penn State’s returning All-Big Ten lineback-ers suffered injuries that kept them off the field for multiple games. The initial injury was suffered byNavorro Bowman in the first quarter of the season-opener with Akron. Stupar got the call andresponded with the top performance of his career, recording 12 tackles, including a sack. He wenton to record 31 tackles for the season, the second-highest total among defensive reserves. The for-mer State College Area HS all-state selection is a member of one of the prominent families in pro-gram history. He has an appreciation and understanding of Penn State football to a higher degreethan most of his teammates. Stupar’s father, Steve, was a Nittany Lion lineman from 1976-79.Uncles Ron, Doug and Jeff Hostetler all played for Penn State in the same era. With the graduationof all three starting linebackers from last year, the versatile and intelligent Stupar should be amongthe primary candidates to play a significant role for the defense and special teams the next twoyears. He is among three returnees from State College.

Stuparmade his first career start against Syracuse and recorded five stops. He also collected his firstcareer interception, returning it 17 yards to the Orange two-yard line to set up a touchdown. Stuparstarted against Temple and again recorded five tackles, helping hold the Owls to two field goals. Hesuffered a slight ankle sprain that limited his time the following week against Iowa.

Stupar dropped him for a nine-yard loss and two playslater Evan Royster burst 28 yards to give Penn State a 21-0 lead en route to the 45-14 thumping.After several near misses on punt block attempts, Stupar finally got one in the 46-17 win overMichigan. He got a hand on a third-quarter punt, and it traveled only 12 yards. The deflection gavePenn State excellent field position and resulted in a Kevin Kelly 32-yard field goal for a 29-17 leadand a continuation of the game’s momentum swing. Stupar recorded his second blocked puntagainst Indiana deep in Hoosier territory, resulting in a Kelly field goal and a lead the Lions wouldnot relinquish in the 34-7 victory. Playing in every game and 290 snaps, Stupar made a season-highfive tackles each against Coastal Carolina and Oregon State. He also had two stops each in the winsover Syracuse, Temple, Wisconsin and Indiana. He was on the field for a season-high 42 playsagainst Coastal Carolina.

The Nittany Lions opened the first and last games of the 2009 regular-season with a pair ofrunning backs in the starting lineup — tailback Evan Royster and fullback Joe Suhey. It certainly wasappropriate for Suhey to get the opening nod in the Akron and Michigan State contests to bookendwhat was a highly productive season. The athletic and sure-handed Suhey has emerged as a reli-able and effective runner, receiver and blocker. A quick and strong runner, he is a multi-talented play-er who brings toughness to the field. Playing in every game last season, Suhey joined the offensiveline and tight ends in receiving much of the credit for the effectiveness of the Nittany Lions’ prolificrushing and passing attacks, helping Penn State to finish second in the Big Ten in total offense. Theformer Loyola Academy standout is a hard worker who has made substantial strides the past twoseasons as a significant contributor on offense and special teams. The assertive and intelligent play-er will be counted on for numerous contributions the next two seasons. Suhey comes from a familythat is as synonymous to Penn State football as the Paterno namesake. He is a fourth-generationNittany Lion hailing from arguably the first family of Penn State football. His father, Matt, was astandout running back at Penn State from 1976-79 before starting a highly-successful career withthe Chicago Bears. His great-grandfather, Bob Higgins, was Penn State’s second All-American,earning honors in 1915 and ’19 and served as head coach from 1930-48. Joe’s grandfather, SteveSuhey, was a letterman at guard in 1942 and again in 1946-47, earning All-America honors his sen-ior season. That gives the Higgins-Suhey family an amazing 94 years of involvement with the PennState program of the 123 seasons it has existed, prior to this season.

� 2009 � Junior SeasonPlaying in every game, with two starts, Suhey demonstrated the ability to contribute as a rush-

er, receiver and blocker. He was seventh on the team with 254 all-purpose yards. Suhey was fifth onthe squad with 21 receptions for 186 yards and one touchdown and gained 68 rushing yards on 22carries. He finished the regular-season with a strong performance. He made three catches for 40yards in the win at Michigan State, including a leaping 30-yard catch-and-run down the far sidelinefor his first career receiving touchdown. The reception was a career-long and gave Penn State a two-touchdown lead in the eventual 42-14 victory. Suhey also gained 16 yards on just three carriesagainst the Spartans. In his first career start, he made a career-best four catches for 40 yards in thewin over Akron. He tied his high with four receptions for 32 yards in the Senior Day victory overIndiana and had a 15-yard catch in the win at Illinois. Suhey was highly effective in the 35-10 win atMichigan, gaining 18 yards on just three carries. Suhey played on 361 snaps, led by 44 in the bigwin over LSU in the 2010 Capital One Bowl and 32 in the victory over Syracuse.

A kickoff announced the “Commitment to Distinction” campaign’s goal in June 2008.Significant gifts already had been committed by generous members of the community in sup-port of a vital facilities expansion aimed at improving the patient experience at the MedicalCenter.

The cornerstone of the expansion will be the three-floor, 42,000-square-foot expansion ofthe existing east wing. Projected to open in 2010, the addition of two in-patient floors and oneintensive care floor will offer single-patient rooms and increase intensive care capacity.

Derrick Thomas heads into the season looking to give the Nittany Lion defensive backfield addi-tional depth. The battle for playing time in the secondary will be fiercely competitive during presea-son camp. Thomas is one of several talented, but young defensive backs who will be battling for timeon the field. After a strong spring practice session, Thomas was No. 2 on the depth chart at one ofthe cornerback spots behind returning starter D’Anton Lynn. The athletic and instinctive Thomas hasmade significant strides during his first year at Penn State and should have a chance to earn play-ing time in the secondary and on special teams this year. An all-state selection at Eleanor RooseveltHS, Thomas and fellow corner Stephon Morris were prep teammates who matriculated to PennState. Thomas is one of 10 returning Nittany Lions from Maryland.

ty and all-conference honors. A standout cornerback and running back, he ran for 923 yards andscored 16 touchdowns during his senior season. A Rivals.com four-star recruit, he recorded 43 tack-les and five interceptions as a senior.

� PersonalFull name is Derrick Thomas. He has not declared a major. Born March 7, 1991.

The first six games of the 2009 season resulted in four different starting units for the offen-sive line, due to injuries and trying to find the best combination. One of the changes saw JohnnieTroutman move into the starting left guard spot and he helped improve and stabilize the unit as theseason progressed. He has made considerable progress in the past year and likely will continue tobattle DeOn’tae Pannell for a starting assignment when preseason practice begins. Possessing verygood physical attributes and skills, Troutman started eight consecutive games last season beforebeing sidelined with a slight leg injury. He was 100 percent for spring practice and with continuedhard work and improvement should have an opportunity to be a significant contributor the next twoseasons. He is on schedule to earn his degree in crime, law and justice in December. The formerall-state selection at Pemberton HS is one of nine returning Nittany Lions from New Jersey.

PRODUCTIVE WIDE RECEIVERS RETURNOne of the biggest questions entering the 2009 season was quickly answered, as an

inexperienced wide receiver corps made plays in the opener against Akron and throughout theseason.

Junior Derek Moye (48-785-6), senior Graham Zug (46-600-7) and junior Chaz Powell(28-366-3) all started nine or more games and played a significant role in Daryll Clark becom-ing the first Nittany Lion to throw for 3,000 yards in a season. Moye cracked the 100-yard markthree times, led by career-highs with six catches for 138 yards against Akron in his first careerstart. Zug led the team with seven touchdown receptions, including three in the 35-10 win atMichigan and made seven catches against Ohio State. Powell delivered a 79-yard lightningbolt on Penn State’s first play from scrimmage against Iowa, the Nittany Lions’ longest playfrom scrimmage last year. Powell was shifted to cornerback during spring practice.

Senior Brett Brackett (3-13-1) and sophomores Curtis Drake (8-98-0), Justin Brown (5-78-0) and Devon Smith (4-30-0) bring additional athleticism and play-making skills to the tal-ented and deep unit.

Junior Andrew Szczerba (1-6-0) is the Nittany Lions’ most experienced returning tight endafter the graduation of Andrew Quarless and Mickey Shuler. Redshirt freshman Garry Gilliamwas moved from defensive end in the spring and should have an opportunity to see consider-able time at tight end this year.

Washington’s Michael Yancich has been working hard to emergeas a larger contributor this season after watching and learning from Pittsburgh’s Sean Lee andButler’s Tyrell Sales the past two years.

Graham Zug was awarded a scholarship prior to the 2008 campaign and was one of the NittanyLions’ best stories during their Big Ten Championship run, making two touchdown catches and ahuge reception in the victory at Ohio State. But, 2009 was a breakout campaign for Zug, who hasemerged as a reliable and highly-effective receiver and blocker. An athlete with very good skills,speed and instincts, the sure-handed fifth-year senior is a probable All-Big Ten candidate. The quiet,humble and highly-productive Zug has demonstrated the ability to get open in all kinds of situationsand make big catches. A starter in nine games last year, Zug led the Nittany Lions with seven touch-down receptions, topped by a career-high three in a memorable 35-10 win at Michigan. He was sec-ond on the squad with 46 receptions for 600 yards (13.0), making a catch in 12 of 13 games. His 46catches were tied with O.J. McDuffie (1991) for No. 14 on the Penn State season receptions list. Zugrewrote his career-high for receiving yardage in a game on four occasions and broke his career-highfor receptions in a game three times in 2009. He uses his speed, size and determination to sepa-rate himself from defenders and make tough catches. The former Manheim Central HS all-staterjoins Brett Brackett as the only seniors among Penn State’s vastly talented and productive wideoutcorps. Zug’s sister, Daneen, will be a senior midfielder on the Nittany Lions’ field hockey team thisfall. An older brother, David, was a member of the Blue Band and also is a Penn State graduate.Winner of the team’s 2009 Red Worrell Award, Zug is on schedule to earn his degree in December.

MALLOY PATERNOHEAD FOOTBALL COACHNITTANY L ION FOOTBALL SUCCESS WITH HONOR

Joe Paterno banded together a squad of highly-moti-vated and dedicated student-athletes and coaches into asquad that delivered Penn State to 51 victories over thepast five seasons, maintaining residence among thenation’s most successful programs. A team possessingoutstanding work-ethic, commitment and senior leader-ship produced the Nittany Lions’ fourth bowl victory in thepast five seasons with a hard-fought, thrilling last-minutevictory over LSU in the Capital One Bowl.

The 2009 Nittany Lions compiled consecutive 11-win seasons for the first time since 1985 and ’86, whenPenn State played in consecutive National Champion-ship games. Paterno’s 21st season with double-figurevictories and 23rd team to finish in the Top 10 added tothe litany of coaching records he owns.

Penn State’s 11-2 mark in 2009 improved its five-year record to 51-13, with its 79.7 winning percentagegood for a tie for No. 7 in the nation. The Nittany Lionsearned their third Top 10 finish in the past five seasonsand won at least 11 games for the 15th time under theHall of Fame coach.

Paterno also could be proud of the academicaccomplishments of his 2009 squad. For the secondconsecutive year, Penn State led all Football BowlSubdivision teams in first-team ESPN The MagazineAcademic All-Americans®. Three Nittany Lions gar-nered first-team honors, giving Penn State eightAcademic All-America® selections over the past twoyears.

And Penn State’s 89 percent graduation rate and 85

percent Graduation Success Rate were tops among allteams in the Associated Press’ final 2009 Top 25 poll.

For 60 years and 709 games, Paterno has passion-ately served the Penn State football program and theuniversity with principle and success with honor sincematriculating to State College in 1950. After 16 years asan assistant coach, he was rewarded in 1966 with thehead coaching responsibilities surrendered by the retir-ing Rip Engle, his college coach at Brown who appoint-ed him to the Penn State staff in 1950 as a brash 23-year-old.

In his 45th season as head coach, Paterno standson the doorstep of another significant milestone, need-ing six wins to become just the third coach in collegefootball history with 400 victories, joining John Gagliardiand Eddie Robinson.

Entering his 61st season as a member of the PennState coaching staff, Paterno is not fond of lookingback, but it has been a memorable period for the leg-endary mentor. In December 2007, he was inducted intothe National Football Foundation and College Football

A career marked with distinction, glorious accomplishments and

immeasurable contributions to The Pennsylvania State University

Hall of Fame. The five-time National Coach-of-the-Yearwas selected for induction in 2006, and was set to jointwo more legendary coaches — Bobby Bowden andGagliardi — as the first active coaches or players to beinducted into the Hall of Fame.

Coach Paterno’s induction, though, was deferreduntil 2007, as the injuries he sustained during a sidelinecollision in a November game at Wisconsin preventedhim from traveling to the 2006 event.

“I have mixed feelings because there were so manypeople that are not with me any more who made it pos-sible for me,” stated Paterno during the December 4,2007 induction ceremony.

“How good has it been? What we share in football;there’s never been a greater game. We’ve been involvedin the greatest game, the greatest experience anybodycould hope for. Great teammates. Guys you could trust.Guys you loved. Guys you would go to war with tomor-row. We’re so lucky…we’re so lucky. If we lose what wehave in football, we’ll lose an awful lot in this country andwe’ve got to remember that.”

Penn State’s field general since 1966, Paternomoved past another football legend, Amos AlonzoStagg, for longevity at a single institution among majorcollege coaches in 2007. Stagg was a head coach for 57years, including 41 at the University of Chicago (1892-1932).

Paterno has faced every situation imaginable on thegridiron and has used his preparation, experience andunderstanding of the game he loves to respond andkeep the Penn State program among the nation’s elitefor the past four decades.

He is older now, and wiser, but no less enthusiasticand no less dynamic. He is, simply put, the most suc-cessful coach in the history of college football — a factthat was validated during the 2001 season when hemoved past Paul “Bear” Bryant to become the leader incareer wins by a major college coach. He also is one ofthe most admired figures in college athletics, anacknowledged icon whose influence extends wellbeyond the white chalk lines of the football field.

A member of the Nittany Lions’ coaching staff span-ning the administrations of 12 U.S. presidents (startingwith Harry Truman), Paterno passed Bryant on October27, 2001 when the Lions secured his 324th victory byrallying from a 27-9 deficit to defeat Ohio State, 29-27,in the greatest Beaver Stadium comeback under thelegendary coach.

“Even though he is enormously successful at it,from the perspective of meaningful contributions to soci-ety, the least important thing Joe Paterno does is coachfootball,” former Philadelphia Inquirer sports columnistBill Lyon told his readers.

Paterno has posted a 394-129-3 mark in 44 sea-sons as head coach and is the leader in career winsamong major college coaches (third all-time). Hepassed his long-time friend and colleague, BobbyBowden, on Sept. 20, 2008. Paterno’s winning percent-age of 75.1 is second-best among active Football BowlSubdivision coaches (10 or more years) and he is sec-

ond all-time in games coached (526) among major col-lege coaches.

Paterno also is the all-time leader among coachesin bowl appearances (36) and post-season triumphs(24). His overall postseason record of 24-11-1 gives hima winning percentage of 68.0, good for No. 1 all-timeamong coaches with at least 15 bowl visits. The NittanyLions are 17-7 in New Year’s games under Paterno and12-5 in contests that comprise the Bowl ChampionshipSeries.

Penn State is one of just seven teams with 800 winsall-time and Paterno has been a member of the NittanyLion staff for 498 of them — 61 percent of the 811 all-time total. Penn State owns a record of 498-177-7(73.5) since Paterno joined the staff in 1950, thenation’s third-highest winning percentage. He hasmissed just three games of a possible 682 Penn Statecontests over 60 seasons.

Paterno’s longevity in a profession where change isa constant borders on the unbelievable. Consider thatsince Paterno succeeded Engle as head coach in 1966there have been 860 head coaching changes at DivisionI schools, an average of six changes per school!

Winner of the AFCA National Coach-of-the-Year anunprecedented five times, Paterno’s legacy will be rec-ognized long after he leaves the game. This past March,the Maxwell Football Club announced it was renamingits top college coaching honor the Joseph V. PaternoCollege Coach-of-the-Year Award.

“The Maxwell Football Club is privileged to honor thelegacy of Coach Paterno, his values and his successeson and off the field,” said Executive Director MarkWolpert.

Since Paterno began leading the program in 1966,Penn State has had 77 first-team All-Americans, withBig Ten Defensive Player-of-the-Year Jared Odrick earn-ing the distinction in 2009.

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALLJOE PATERNONITTANY L ION FOOTBALL SUCCESS WITH HONOR

Draft, tackle Levi Brown was the No. 5 overall selectionin the 2007 NFL Draft and defensive tackle Jared Odrickwas a first round choice in 2010.

His teams have registered seven undefeated regu-lar-seasons and he has had 35 teams finish in the Top25. Penn State has won the Lambert MeadowlandsTrophy, emblematic of Eastern football supremacy, 24times in Paterno’s coaching run, including in 2008 and‘09.

Paterno is the only coach to win the four traditionalNew Year’s Day bowl games — the Rose, Sugar, Cottonand Orange bowls — and he owns a 6-0 record in theFiesta Bowl. He was selected by the National FootballFoundation and College Football Hall of Fame as thefirst active coach to receive its Distinguished AmericanAward. Paterno also was the 1986 Sports IllustratedSportsman-of-the-Year.

Obviously not a person of misplaced priorities,Paterno always has concentrated on seeing that his stu-dent-athletes attend class, devote the proper time tostudies and graduate with a meaningful degree. Heoften has said he measures team success not by athlet-ic prowess but by the number of productive citizens whomake a contribution to society.

The 2009 NCAA Graduation Rates Report forDivision I institutions revealed that the Penn State foot-

ball program earned an 89 percent graduation rateamong freshmen entering in 2002-03, which was No. 1among teams ranked in the 2009 final Associated Presspoll. Penn State’s figure was an astounding 34 pointsabove the 55 percent FBS average.

The 2009 NCAA data also showed that Penn Stateposted a program record 85 percent GraduationSuccess Rate, also the highest among 2009 AP Top 25teams. The national average among FBS teams was 67percent.

Paterno and the 2008 Nittany Lions displayedresiliency and toughness to capture the Big TenChampionship and the program’s second BowlChampionship berth in four years.

Trailing rival Ohio State in the fourth quarter in alate-October night game, the visiting Nittany Lions madea momentum-swinging play and went on to score the

game’s final 10 points to post a hard-fought victory enroute to their third Big Ten crown and a berth in the RoseBowl.

Paterno also was resilient, as he fought through ahip injury that occurred two days before the 2008 sea-son-opener, displaying toughness and fortitude to hissquad when in obvious pain. The day after the Big Ten-clinching win over Michigan State, Paterno had suc-

cessful hip replacement surgery and led the NittanyLions during their preparations for the Rose Bowl clashwith Southern California.

Paterno was selected the 2008 Big Ten DaveMcClain Coach-of-the-Year, winning the honor for thethird time, second only to Bo Schembechler’s four selec-tions in the award’s history. He also was a finalist forthree national Coach-of-the-Year honors: the EddieRobinson Award (FWAA), Liberty Mutual and GeorgeMunger (Maxwell Football Club).

The Nittany Lions’ Big Ten-clinching victory overMichigan State on Nov. 22, 2008 was Penn State’s800th all-time, becoming just the sixth program in thenation to reach the milestone.

The 2008 Nittany Lions were led by a senior classthat compiled a stellar 40-11 ledger over four years.Penn State was 11-2, finishing No. 8 in the AssociatedPress and USA Today Coaches polls.

A school-record 10 Nittany Lions were selectedfirst-team All-Big Ten in 2008, more than double the sec-ond-highest total, and a record 14 players earned first orsecond-team all-conference accolades. Four NittanyLions received All-America honors and A.Q. Shipleybecame Penn State’s first recipient of the RimingtonTrophy, presented to the nation’s outstanding center.

It was a record-breaking year for academic accom-plishments as well. A program-record five players wereselected to the 2008 ESPN The Magazine AcademicAll-America® team, with four on the first team. PennState’s four first-team selections and five overall selec-tions led the nation, becoming the first school to havefive Academic All-America® football players sinceNebraska in 1997.

A program-record 55 football student-athletes com-piled at least a 3.0 grade-point average during the 2008fall semester. A record 19 Nittany Lions earned Dean’sList recognition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher.

The 2007 edition of the Nittany Lions featured theprogram’s third consecutive winner of the ChuckBednarik Award. The Nittany Lions’ comeback victoryover Texas A&M in the Valero Alamo Bowl wasPaterno’s 500th game as head coach, as he added tohis all-time record with bowl victory No. 23.

It came as no surprise that less than two weeksafter undergoing surgery on his left leg in November2006, Paterno was back in Beaver Stadium, observinghis team from the coaches’ booth for the regular-seasonfinale against Michigan State.

Winner of the 2005 Butkus and 2005 and ‘06Bednarik awards, All-America linebacker PaulPosluszny was selected the 2006 ESPN The MagazineAcademic All-American®-of-the-Year in Division I foot-ball, earning first-team honors twice.

The 2005 Nittany Lions are a squad Paterno willremember fondly. The players and coaches passionate-ly toiled every day to return Penn State to the nationalchampionship picture. The Lions compiled an 11-1record, captured the Big Ten Championship and a triple-overtime win over Bowden’s Florida State squad in the2006 FedEx Orange Bowl.

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL JOE PATERNOThe 11-win season represented another milestone,

as Penn State recorded at least 10 victories underPaterno in a fifth decade. The Lions were No. 3 in thepolls, earning their 13th Top 5 finish.

For his leadership in restoring the Nittany Lions tothe nation’s elite, Paterno was recognized with numer-ous National Coach-of-the-Year honors in 2005, cappedby an unprecedented fifth selection by the AmericanFootball Coaches Association (AFCA). He also receivednational honors from the Associated Press, BobbyDodd, Home Depot/ESPN, Maxwell Football Club(George Munger), Pigskin Club of Washington, D.C.,The Sporting News and the Walter Camp FootballFoundation.

Milestones, Paterno has said, are not things thatmotivate him. One day he may look back on the richcanvas he has created but it won’t be anytime soonbecause retirement is about the last thing on this 83-year-old’s mind. In December 2008, Paterno agreed toa contract extension through the 2011 season.

Before Paterno removes those white athletic socksand trademark black Nikes for the final time, there’s notmuch doubt he will have established THE benchmarkfor college football coaches.

Three of his squads finished a perfect 12-0 — in1973, 1986 and 1994 — and his 1968 and 1969 squadswere 11-0. His 1978 and ‘85 teams were unbeaten inthe regular-season, losing in bowl games for theNational Championship.

Paterno has remained true to the ideal that a univer-sity is an educational institution first and foremost, grad-uating his student-athletes and constantly striving toinstill values of citizenship and sportsmanship.

“He’s putting together this winning program, butmeanwhile he’s teaching 17-, 18-, 19-year-olds how notto screw their lives up, how important education is, howimportant it is to have social acumen,” All-America line-backer Greg Buttle told the San Antonio Express-Newsin 2007.

“Forget what he’s done for players. He’s done morefor a single university than anyone else. It transcends hiscoaching. No. 1 to him is what he’s done for Penn StateUniversity, No. 2 is what he has done for players.”

Since beginning play in the Big Ten in 1993, PennState’s 241 academic all-conference honorees are themost for any league school.

In December 2007, Patrick and Candace Malloyhonored Paterno’s contributions to the University bycommitting $5 million to create the Malloy Paterno HeadFootball Coach Endowment at Penn State.

“All of Penn State has benefited from Joe’s commit-ment to success with honor,” said Patrick Malloy, a 1965alumnus of the University. “He is so much more than acoach; he’s an educator. He teaches his players how towin in life as well as in football, and he teaches everyPenn State fan how to make the world a better placethrough integrity, honesty, and excellence. We are alsofortunate enough to know Sue Paterno, and we have thedeepest admiration for her volunteer and philanthropicleadership at Penn State and beyond.”

“He’s tough as hell,” former All-America linebackerand ex-NFL standout Shane Conlan said in an interview,“but he does things the way they’re supposed to bedone. He follows the rules. He believes you’re there foran education. He teaches you more than football. Heteaches you about life.”

“The greatest testimonial to the Penn State footballprogram is its list of graduates,” former All-America cen-ter Bill Lenkaitis, now a dentist in Foxboro, Mass., said.“Look at where these guys are now and what they’redoing. Look how many go to medical school or lawschool. Look how many become heads of corporations.That’s the real test of a college football program.”

Lenkaitis’ observations mirror his coach’s responsewhen asked to name his greatest team. It won’t neces-

sarily be the one with the most wins, most All-Americas,or the most post-season awards, Paterno has said.Rather, it will be the team that has yielded the most pro-ductive members of society.

Giving back is a theme Paterno not only preachesbut also practices. He and his wife, Sue, and their fivechildren gave the University $3.5 million in 1998 toendow faculty positions and scholarships, and to sup-port two building projects. The Paternos have con-tributed more than $4 million to Penn State in his tenure.

In 2009, the Paternos pledged $1 million to the con-struction of a 42,000-square foot wing for the MountNittany Medical Center in State College, the primaryhealthcare facility in a growing Centre County.

“This gift demonstrates our continued pride in thiscommunity and gratitude for the profound expertise andcare of our physicians, Jon Dranov and WayneSebastianelli,” said Paterno. “We see great things forthis community and its future growth, and we are excit-ed to be part of assuring continued excellence in ourlocal healthcare, now and for generations to come.”

Joe and Sue have been actively involved with theSpecial Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games, heldeach June on the University Park campus. The Paternoswere inducted into the Special Olympics PennsylvaniaHall of Fame in 2008.

In 2009, Joe and Sue were honored by the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Associated for a lifetime of achievement.Coach Paterno is a national spokesperson for CMTA.

Paterno received the 1999 National Heritage Awardof the Anti-Defamation League at a gala in Philadelphia.

“Coach Paterno is an outstanding role model, men-tor and leader, humanitarian and philanthropist,” ADLRegional Director Barry Morrison said. “He has helpedbuild champions both on and off the field through hisongoing commitment to the values that ADL stands for— equality, dignity, educational achievement, toleranceand diversity.”

“Angelo Paterno (Joe’s father) died in 1955, whenhis son was an assistant coach, 11 years away frombecoming the head coach. But his son became an ide-alist and jousts still with windmills, and it is difficult tobelieve if he had become a barrister, while he wouldhave been a good one, that Joe Paterno would haveaffected as many lives, wrought more good, than he hasas a coach,” Bill Lyon wrote on the occasion of the ADLaward.

Paterno, whose tenure at Penn State — 16 years asan assistant and 44 as head coach — spans the admin-istrations of 12 U.S. Presidents, owns one of sport’smost substantial resumes. In his five-decade-pluscareer, he has:

� Led teams to 24 bowl victories, more than any-one in his profession;

� Become the only coach to win the four tradition-al New Year’s Day games — the Rose, Sugar, Cottonand Orange bowls — as well as the Fiesta Bowl;

� Captured National Championships in 1982 and1986 and had teams finish undefeated, but uncrowned,in 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1994;

� Posted 11 or more victories in 15 seasons;� Seen at least one player win a first-team All-

America berth in 37 of his 44 years;� Won Coach-of-the-Year honors an unprecedent-

ed five times in balloting by the American FootballCoaches Association (1968, ‘78, ‘82, ‘86 and ‘05);

� Been selected by the National FootballFoundation and College Football Hall of Fame as the

first active coach ever to receive its DistinguishedAmerican award;

� Appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated as its1986 Sportsman-of-the-Year;

� Watched more than 350 of his ex-Lions play inthe National Football League, including 33 who werefirst-round draft choices;

� Coached players who have won all of the majorcollege awards — Heisman, Maxwell, Walter Camp,Lombardi, O’Brien, Outland, Butkus, Bednarik, DoakWalker, Biletnikoff and Rimington;

� Witnessed the payoff to his emphasis on gradu-ating and achieving academic goals through the selec-tion of 31 first-team Academic All-Americas, 15 Hall ofFame Scholar-Athletes and 18 NCAA PostgraduateScholarship winners;

� Tutored three former players enshrined in the ProFootball Hall of Fame and eight whose plaques hang inthe College Football Hall of Fame, including CurtWarner, who will gain induction in December 2009.

Paterno needed fewer games (246) to reach the200-win plateau than any of the 10 major college coach-es on the list. He also was the quickest to achieve 300victories. It took Bear Bryant, the previous leader, 393games to reach that level; Paterno attained that peak in380 games.

One of the astonishing statistics about his tenure isthat he has been on the coaching staff for more thanhalf of the football games played by the Nittany Lionssince the program bowed in 1887.

— President George W. Bushduring a 2005 address on the Penn State Campus

JOE PATERNO



THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL JOE PATERNOThe January 1, 1997 Fiesta Bowl was the

University’s 1,044th game and Paterno’s 522nd sincearriving on campus. Prior to the 2006 Temple game, sixdays after his leg surgery, he had been absent onlytwice for an opening kickoff — at Army in 1955 due tothe death of his father and at Syracuse in 1977 when hisson, David, was seriously injured in an accident.

Penn State’s 2010 season-opener with YoungstownState will be the 684th game of Paterno’s career.

Paterno admitted to being especially energizedwhen the Nittany Lions, after more than 100 years as anindependent, signed on as members of the Big TenConference in 1993. It didn’t take long for Penn State toflex its muscle in the new neighborhood.

In just its second year of conference affiliation,Paterno guided Penn State to a 12-0 record, including avictory in the 1995 Rose Bowl. The Lions became thefirst Big Ten team to record an undefeated season in 26years and first ever to post a 12-0 record. The Lionswere ranked No. 2 behind Nebraska in the final polls,marking the third time an unbeaten Paterno-led squadfinished second in the nation.

The Nittany Lions are 136-60 overall since startingcompetition in the Big Ten in 1993. Paterno is one of justeight coaches in Conference history to win at least 130games at one institution.

Defining Joe Paterno by wins and losses, however,is to trivialize his contributions to intercollegiate athlet-ics. This native of Brooklyn, N.Y., is not a man of mis-placed priorities.

“How many football coaches majored in EnglishLiterature at an Ivy League school,” retired Penn Stateathletic director Jim Tarman, a Paterno friend since1950, asked? “When he sits up half the night, as he didfor years, doing ‘x’s’ and ‘o’s’ for the next day’s practiceor next Saturday’s game, he always listened to opera. Ithink the fact that he has such a broad range of interestsis one of the reasons our football program has been dif-ferent.”

Obviously not a person of misplaced priorities,Paterno always has concentrated on seeing that his stu-dent-athletes attend class, devote the proper time tostudies and graduate with a meaningful degree. Heoften has said he measures team success not by athlet-ic prowess but by the number of productive citizens whomake a contribution to society.

“The players who have been most important to thesuccess of Penn State teams,” Paterno has said, “havejust naturally kept their priorities straight: football a highsecond, but academics an undisputed first.”

The 2008 NCAA Graduation Success Rate Reportfor Division I institutions provided the most recent com-pelling evidence of the success of Paterno’s “GrandExperiment.” The report revealed that the Penn Statefootball program’s 76 percent GSR was No. 2 in thenation among teams ranked in the final 2008 AssociatedPress Top 25 and well above the national average of 67percent. The NCAA data also showed that Penn Stateposted a 77 percent federal graduation rate amongfreshmen entering in 2001-02, second-highest among

Big Ten institutions. The national Division I-A averagewas 56 percent.

In his extraordinary career, Penn State has pro-duced at least one first-team All-America in 36 of his 43years. More than 350 of his players have signed withNational Football League teams and 32 have been first-round draft choices. Defensive end Courtney Brown andlinebacker LaVar Arrington were the top two selectionsin the 2000 NFL Draft, only the third time in the historyof the modern draft that the first two players chosenhave been college teammates.

In a survey of pro football general managers andpersonnel directors by The Sporting News, Penn Statewas a clear-cut winner as the college program that bestprepares players for the NFL.

“That program is well-rounded from the standpointthat Joe Paterno demands discipline for his players,both academically and on the field,” said Rod Graves,General Manager of the Arizona Cardinals. “Standardsof character are very high there. The kids practiceextremely hard. I don’t care whether you are bringing ina free agent or a first-round draft choice, those kidsknow how to work. Nine times out of 10, you’ll neverhave any problem with those kids off the field.”

Significant as it is, Paterno’s football portfolio offersbut a glimpse of his multi-faceted personality. He hastaken on duties away from the field with the same senseof purpose and ambition.

their volunteer service to Penn State, make thePaternos a unique couple among colleges and universi-ties nationwide. Their pledge is believed to be the mostgenerous gift ever made by a collegiate coach and hisfamily to a university.

The Paterno gift endows faculty positions and schol-arships in the College of the Liberal Arts, the School ofArchitecture and Landscape Architecture, the UniversityLibraries and supported two building projects on theUniversity Park campus — the interfaith PasquerillaSpiritual Center, which opened in 2003, and the PennState All-Sports Museum, which opened in 2002.

“Penn State has been very good to both Sue andme,” Paterno said at the time of their 1998 gift. “Wehave met some wonderful people here, we’ve knownmany students who have gone on to become outstand-ing leaders in their professions and in society, and all ofour children have received a first class education here.I’ve never felt better about Penn State and its futurepotential than I do right now. Sue and I want to do all wecan to help the University reach that potential.”

“I have a theory that Joe coaches not so much forwhat he can do for football as for what he can do for theUniversity and the community,” Penn State presidentGraham Spanier said. “And that makes me the luckiestuniversity president in the country.”

The Paternos’ effort as co-chairs of the campaignto expand Pattee Library included a personal contribu-tion of $250,000 among the $14 million raised. ThePenn State Board of Trustees voted to name the newlibrary wing after the Paternos. The five-story, 135,000-square-foot expansion doubled the size of PatteeLibrary. The $34.4 million Paterno Library was dedicat-ed on September 8, 2000.

Paterno was a major contributor of both money andtime to the $352 million Campaign for Penn State, forwhich he served as Vice Chair. He also was an honorarychair for the University’s Grand Destiny campaign thatnetted more than $1.37 billion by its June 2003 conclu-sion.

Joe and Sue Paterno established the PaternoLibraries Endowment in 1984 with gifts totaling$120,000. Subsequent contributions have pushed theEndowment’s total to $4 million.

“I’ve said it a hundred times,” Paterno stated at thetime the drive began, “a great library is the heart of agreat university, and if we want to remain a big-leagueuniversity, we’ve got to have a big-league library.”

“Sue and Joe Paterno are legendary at this institu-tion, not only because of the notable and consistentsuccess of the Nittany Lions, but also because of thevalues they have espoused over the years,” former pres-ident Joab Thomas said at the time the Board ofTrustees’ decision was announced to name the newlibrary wing after the first family of Penn State football.

“Family, learning, loyalty and commitment areprominent among those values. This new library willstand as an appropriate tribute to all that they have donefor Penn State.”

Paterno also was a donor and committee memberfor the campaign to build the Bryce Jordan Center andcommitted $250,000 to the drive to construct the PennState All-Sports Museum, which was part of the sev-enth Beaver Stadium expansion project since hebecame head coach.

The icon of college coaching has elevated PennState football to a level matched by only a very few. And,since the day he arrived on the campus as a fresh-faced

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL JOE PATERNOassistant on Rip Engle’s new staff, Paterno has provenwinning and educating are not mutually exclusive goals.

The wisdom of Paterno’s “total person” approach tofootball — which addresses academic and lifestyle mat-ters in addition to athletic prowess — has won almostuniversal endorsement from the “products of the sys-tem.”

“...I can tell you that virtually all of the players he’stouched in fifty years as an assistant and head coachhave been enriched by the experience,” former quarter-back Todd Blackledge said in the forward to QuotableJoe, a book of quotations by and about Paterno. “I con-sider myself, and I know my teammates and Penn Stateplayers past and present feel likewise, a better personfor having played for Joe Paterno.”

LaVar Arrington was a two-time All-America andwon the 1999 Butkus Award as the nation’s top line-backer as well as the Maxwell Club’s Chuck BednarikAward, presented to the top collegiate defensive player.

“If you’re not a man when you get there, you’ll be aman before you leave,” Arrington said of his Penn Stateexperience. “...Joe has his system so that you’re pre-pared for life. Joe trains you more mentally than physi-cally so that nothing will rattle you.”

Ex-All-America linebacker Matt Millen, anESPN/ABC football analyst, is of the opinion “the mainthing Joe gives you is perspective. He’s a teacher. Hedoes more than football stuff. He’s always giving youthese little speeches, and after a while you hear them sooften and understand them and they’re pretty true.”

Paterno has developed 64 student-athletes whohave earned first-team All-America honors a total of 77times. Three of his many NFL players — linebackerJack Ham, fullback Franco Harris and guard MikeMunchak — have been enshrined in the Pro FootballHall of Fame. Ham, defensive tackle Mike Reid, tightend Ted Kwalick, linebacker Dennis Onkotz, tackle KeithDorney and running backs John Cappelletti, LydellMitchell and Curt Warner are in the College Football Hallof Fame.

Paterno’s enshrinement into the College FootballHall of Fame marked the second time the NationalFootball Foundation has demonstrated his uniqueimpact and standing on college football.

In December 1991, Paterno became the first activecoach ever to receive the National Football Foundationand College Football Hall of Fame DistinguishedAmerican Award. Since the award was instituted in 1966,it had never been presented to an active college coach.

Other past winners include the late General JamesVan Fleet, Hollywood’s Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart,former Notre Dame President Theodore Hesburgh, thelate NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle and captains ofindustry such as John Galbreath, Sonny Werblin andLeon Hess. Two deceased former coaches — VinceLombardi and Dave Nelson — are previous winners,although neither was active when honored. TomOsborne of Nebraska received the award in 1995, thenthe second active coach cited.

Not necessarily presented on an annual basis, theaward is made on those occasions when a personemerges “who over a long period of time has exhibitedleadership and who has made significant contributionsto the betterment of amateur football in America.”

President George Bush, honored with theFoundation’s Gold Medal on the same evening, said in aletter to the more than 1,000 guests at New York’sWaldorf-Astoria Hotel:

“Throughout his tenure at Penn State, Joe Paternohas led his Nittany Lions in smart, aggressive, team-ori-ented football. As their plain white jerseys and bluenumbers attest, they’re not a flashy bunch. But at theconclusion of each collegiate season, they’re invariablyamong the top teams in the country. Most importantly, atthe end of their college careers Joe’s players havelearned those valuable lessons of character and moralconduct that typify Coach Paterno himself.”

Another former president, the late Ronald Reagan,characterized Paterno as a person “who has never for-gotten that he is a teacher who’s preparing his studentsnot just for the season, but for life.”

As one almost could expect, Paterno sees his roleas larger than merely charting “x’s and o’s” on a chalk-board.

“What are coaches?” Paterno said in his accept-ance speech at the 1991 Hall of Fame dinner. “Numberone, we’re teachers and we’re educators. We have thesame obligations as all teachers at our institutions,except we probably have more influence over our youngpeople than anyone other than their families.

“...we’re dealing with emotions; we’re dealing withcommitment; we’re dealing with discipline, and loyalty,and pride. The things that make a difference in a per-son’s life — pride, loyalty and commitment — are thethings that make a difference in this country. We’reteaching them the realities of the competitive life.”

Endorsement of Paterno’s methods have beenapparent in a variety of surveys. In 2004, he was recog-nized twice for his impact on college football. He wasselected the second-best college football coach of all-time by a panel of more than 300 media, current andformer football coaches, Heisman Trophy winners andmembers of the College Football Hall of Fame.

Paterno also was chosen the nation’s best collegefootball coach of the past 25 years by an ESPN25expert panel in 2004. He finished No. 8 overall in the list-

ing of college and professional coaches from all sportsover the past 25 years.

The kind of success the Nittany Lions haveachieved hasn’t blurred Paterno’s vision of what’s rightabout college athletics.

“Just winning is a silly reason to be serious about agame,” he said in his autobiography, Paterno: By theBook. “For a kid still in school, devotion to winning foot-ball games at nearly any cost may cripple his mind forlife. Institutions of higher learning don’t have the moralright to exploit and mislead inexperienced kids that way.

“The purpose of college football is to serve educa-tion,” Paterno said, “not the other way around. I houndmy players to get involved. Ten years from now I wantthem to look back on college as a wonderful time ofexpanding themselves — not just four years of playingfootball.”

Paterno’s support of scholarship and his creativeand compelling views on sports and education havebeen widely recognized. He has been a frequent wit-ness at Congressional hearings and he appearedbefore the Knight Commission. He delivered the PennState spring commencement address in 1973 and is therecipient of three honorary degrees — Doctor of Lawsfrom Brown, Doctor of Humane Letters from GettysburgCollege and Doctor of Laws from Allegheny College.

In 1991, Paterno was inducted as an honorarymember of the Penn State chapter of Eta Sigma Phi,the national classics society, which honors excellence inthe study of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

“We wanted to honor him for two reasons,” MicheleRonnick, a classics professor said. “One, for the won-derful library fund he established...and also for his abid-ing love of Virgil. I don’t imagine there is another footballcoach in the country who can say that he’s read the‘Aeneid’ in Latin and loved it. He is truly unique.”

Paterno was bestowed a trio of diverse honors in2006. He was named a Free Spirit honoree and recog-

nized by The Freedom Forum at the National Press Clubin Washington, D.C. Paterno also received the LifetimeAchievement Award from the Dapper Dan Charities inPittsburgh and the History Makers Award, presented bythe Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional HistoryCenter.

Paterno’s dual focus of athletic excellence and aca-demic accomplishment is one of the reasons he waspresented the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award by theAmerican Football Coaches Association, the AFCA’shighest honor, in 2002. The award honors those “whoseservices have been outstanding in the advancement ofthe best interests of football.” Also in 2002, Paterno andone of his former players, Dr. Dave Joyner, were co-recipients of the Inspiration Award, presented by theJuvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Paterno was the ‘98 winner of the initial State Farm

Eddie Robinson Coach-of-the-Year Award, establishedto recognize an active college head coach who exempli-fies the qualities of Coach Robinson as a role model tostudents and players, an active member of the commu-nity and an accomplished coach.

In 1994, Paterno received the Ernie Davis Award,presented by the Leukemia Society of America andnamed in honor of the late Syracuse All-America andHeisman Trophy winner. Paterno was the first coach toreceive the award.

With his success has come a certain celebrity,which Paterno tolerates although he often finds it dis-ruptive to his coaching persona.

He is widely sought as a speaker for clinics andbanquets and has appeared in magazine, newspaperand radio/television advertisements for companies likeMilano Bread, TIAA-CREF and Burger King.

Paterno was the first football coach ever named bySports Illustrated as its Sportsman-of-the-Year, in 1986,and just the second college coach cited for the honor(UCLA basketball coach John Wooden was the other).

His “folk hero” reputation in Central Pennsylvaniahas spawned an entire line of Paterno products, includ-ing coffee mugs (“Cup of Joe”), life-size cardboardcutouts (“Stand-up Joe”), the Paterno bean bag buddy,JoePa Christmas ornaments and golf balls with hisfamiliar face (“like the Penn State offense, three out offour guaranteed to go up the middle”).

Paterno has written two books — Football My Waywith Gordon White and the late Merv Hyman andPaterno: By the Book with the late Bernie Asbell —and at least three others have been written about him —The Paterno Legacy with the staff of the PittsburghPost-Gazette; No Ordinary Joe by Michael O’Brien andQuotable Joe, a compilation of quotes by and aboutPaterno by L. Budd Thalman that was released in 2001.

Paterno’s thick glasses, rolled-up pants legs andwhite athletic socks have become signatures every bitas familiar to the Penn State faithful as the McDonald’sgolden arches or the Nike swoosh. So, too, are theNittany Lions’ conservative uniforms, with the high-topblack shoes, white helmets bereft of logos, and plain jer-seys without the players’ names on the back.

“I don’t think our uniforms look that bad,” he says. “Ithink they say something to kids about team-orientedplay and an austere approach to life.”

Born on 18th Street in Brooklyn, on December 21,1926, the first-born of Angelo and Florence Paternoremembers his old neighborhood as a place where“playing daily at sports was our work: not only touchfootball but also punchball and stickball...”

Paterno went to St. Edmond’s Grammar School andBrooklyn Prep high school where he played as a senioron the best Catholic-school team in the city. BrooklynPrep’s only loss was to St. Cecilia of Englewood, N.J.,coached by a young Vince Lombardi.

“I had a sense that this young man had read farbeyond his years,” the late Father Thomas

Bermingham, one of his high school teachers, said,“and was still reading on his own. I called him after classand I said, ‘Joseph, I can’t make you but I would love tohave you do much more than the rest of the class.’ And,typical Joe Paterno, he jumped at that chance.”

From Brooklyn Prep, Paterno, after serving the finalyear of World War II in the U.S. Army, accepted an athlet-ic scholarship to Brown University. “...probably because ofmy unimpressive height and weight, the Paterno doorstepwasn’t over-run with college scouts,” he said.

But, under the fatherly Rip Engle at Brown, Paternoblossomed into the heady quarterback of the Bears’football team. Teaming with his younger brother,George, the Paternos were instrumental in Brown post-ing an 8-1 record in 1949 and becoming an Easternpowerhouse.

Legendary sportswriter Stanley Woodward oncedescribed Paterno, who still holds the Brown careerinterception record (14), as a quarterback “who can’trun, can’t pass — just thinks and wins.”

In addition to his role in the rushing and passingoffenses, Paterno also returned punts and kickoffs,posting career averages of 8.8 and 20.1 yards, respec-tively. He had a 69-yard punt return for a touchdown tobeat Holy Cross in 1949.

Paterno also played two seasons of basketball atBrown (his freshman coach was the late Pro FootballHall of Fame legend Weeb Ewbank).

Brown paid homage to its skinny ex-quarterback in1993 when it named one of its major athletic awards inhis honor. The coach attended a banquet in Providenceto present the first “Joe Paterno Outstanding MaleFreshman Athlete Award.”

After his senior football season, Paterno took anEngle offer to work on a part-time basis with the Brownquarterbacks while awaiting graduation. He had beenaccepted into the Boston University law school andintended to follow the career path of his father, who wentto night-school to earn his law degree, passing the barexam at age 44.

“Everything was set,” Paterno said, “until I got a sur-prising phone call from Rip Engle in Pennsylvania. Hetold me that his contract (to be the new head coach atPenn State) allowed him to bring one assistant coach.Rip astonished me by asking me to take the job.”

After 16 years as an Engle assistant, Paterno was

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL JOE PATERNO

appointed head coach on February 19, 1966, a day afterhis friend and benefactor announced his retirement.

In the 60 years since he arrived in Happy Valley,Paterno has turned aside many opportunities to leave,the most publicized a famous courtship by the BostonPatriots in the early 1970s.

Explaining his decision to spurn the pros, Paternotold graduates in his 1973 commencement address:“Money alone will not make you happy. Success withouthonor is an unseasoned dish. It will satisfy your hunger,but it won’t taste good.”

“Joe is everything that the word ‘passive’ isn’t,” for-mer athletic director and longtime friend Jim Tarmansaid. “Ever since I’ve known Joe, assistant coachthrough now, he used to get up every morning, jump outof bed, and ask, ‘What can I do to make Penn Statefootball, and Penn State, better today?’ And, he expect-ed everybody around him to do that.”

Paterno married the former Suzanne Pohland ofLatrobe, Pa., in 1962. She’s a Penn State graduate,Class of ’62, and was honored in 2004 with the PennState Distinguished Alumni Award, the University’s high-est honor. They have five children, all of whom are PennState graduates: daughters, Mrs. Diana Giegerich andMrs. Mary Kathryn Hort, and sons, David, Jay (JosephJr.) and George Scott, a 2001 graduate of TheDickinson School of Law of The Pennsylvania StateUniversity.

The Paternos have 17 grandchildren: Brian AndrewGiegerich, born in October 1995; Olivia Suzanne Hort(July 1996); Matthew Thomas Giegerich (May 1997);Robert Joseph Hort (January 1999); Sophia NicolePaterno (April 1999); twins Joseph Vincent Paterno IIIand Caroline Arlene Paterno (January 2000); SarahKatherine Paterno (June 2000); Christopher PaternoHort (November 2000); Elizabeth Kathryn Paterno (July2002); Nicole Suzanne Giegerich (August 2002); AugustDavid Paterno (June 2003); Jonathan Graybill Paterno(February 2004); Zachary Michael Paterno (May 2004);Paul Angelo Paterno (January 2006); Virginia SuzannePaterno (August 2007) and Sally Paterno (April 2009).

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; Sept. 26 —Penn State’s great start was nullified byfour turnovers, a blocked punt and a safe-ty, as Iowa rallied for a 21-10 win in the BigTen-opener for both teams.

The loss dropped No. 5 Penn State to3-1 overall, while the Hawkeyes improvedto 4-0. The Nittany Lions saw their 11-game home winning streak come to anend, suffering just their third loss in theirlast 33 games in Beaver Stadium.

Penn State scored on its first playfrom scrimmage to electrify the White-house crowd of 109,316. The NittanyLions then used a 20-play drive, consum-ing 10:17, to take a 10-0 first-quarter lead.But, the Hawkeyes scored the final 21points, including 16 in the fourth quarter.Penn State gained 147 yards in the firstquarter, but was limited to 160 the remain-der of the night.

Nation’s Second-largestStadium

Beaver Stadium, the home of theNittany Lions, is one of the nation’s pre-mier football venues.

An expansion and renovation priorto the 2001 season added more than12,000 seats, increasing the stadium’scapacity to 107,282 and easing the wait-ing list for season ticket requests fromPenn State fans.

The second-largest stadium in thenation, the renovation and expansionadded rest rooms and concession facili-ties, new scoreboards with video screens,

and improved handicap access andpedestrian circulation patterns. The mostnoticeable changes are 60 enclosed sky-boxes in a three-level structure above theEast stands and an 11,500-seat upperdeck in the South end zone.

Beaver Stadium has more than dou-bled in size since it was moved from itsformer site northeast of Rec Hall on thewest side of campus to the east end ofthe campus in 1960. The addition of a10,033-seat upper deck in the north endzone in 1991 and portable seats on the

north end zone concourse increased thestadium’s capacity to 93,967.

In 1980, expansion raised thecapacity to 83,770. Lights were added in1984. In 1985, the addition of walkwaysaround the tops of the end zones andentry ramps at the four corners resultedin lowering the capacity to 83,370.

Penn State dedicated BeaverStadium with a 20-0 win over BostonUniversity on Sept. 17, 1960. Lion half-back Eddie Caye scored the stadium’s firsttouchdown at 10:45 of the first quarter.

Built in a horseshoe configurationseating 46,284 in 1960, the stadium nowtowers 110 rows on the east side, 100rows on the west, 60 in the lower endzones, 35 in the north upper deck, 20 inthe club seating level and 25 in the southupper deck.

Additions of over 2,000 seats in1969 and more than 9,000 in 1972increased the seating capacity to57,538. Expanded bleachers in thesouth end zone in 1976 raised thecapacity to 60,203.

A uniquely engineered expansionduring the winter, spring and summer of1978 added more than 16,000 seats,bringing the capacity to 76,639. The sta-dium was cut into sections, raised eightfeet by hydraulic jacks and precast con-crete seating forms inserted within theinner circle of the stadium, where a run-ning track previously had been located.

Penn State’s first permanent homefor football was Beaver Field, whichstood between the present-day Osmondand Frear laboratories in center campus.Before that, games were played on theOld Main lawn.

The first game at 500-seat BeaverField was played on Nov. 6, 1893against Western University of Pittsburgh(later to become the University ofPittsburgh). The 32-0 Penn State victorywas delayed two days because of badweather and played on a Monday after-noon.

New Beaver Field, located near RecHall, was dedicated in 1909 with a 31-0win over Grove City. Originally construct-

ed of wood, the stadium was convertedto steel in 1936. The area also containedfacilities for baseball, lacrosse, soccerand track and field.

New Beaver Field was the NittanyLions’ home through the 1959 season,after which the 30,000-seat stadium wasdismantled and moved in 700 piecesone mile to the east side of campus.The old stadium was reassembled with16,000 additional seats to form BeaverStadium.

The stadium is named in honor ofJames A. Beaver. A lawyer in nearbyBellefonte at the outbreak of the CivilWar, he enlisted in the Union Army as asecond lieutenant and rose to the rankof brigadier general prior to his dis-charge in 1864. Beaver, who died in1914, served as a superior court judge,governor of Pennsylvania and presidentof the University’s Board of Trustees.He is credited with being among themost influential leaders in the develop-ment of the University at the turn of thecentury.

� Nittany Lion Legend

Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the studentbody in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamedcentral Pennsylvania.

H.D. “Joe” Mason, a member of the Class of 1907,conducted a one-man campaign to choose a schoolmascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with thePenn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus.A student publication sponsored the campaign to selecta mascot and Penn State is believed to be the first col-lege to adopt the lion as a mascot.

Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley atthe foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as aNittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee)was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor theGreat Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A laternamesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived nearthe mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with MalachiBoyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost loverbecame legend and her name was given to the statelymountain.

� The “S” Zone

Organized in 1999 by the Penn State LionAmbassadors, the student alumni corps, the “S” Zonerevived one of the oldest traditions — Block S — in thestudent section at Beaver Stadium. Now formed when700 underclassmen don coordinated blue and white t-shirts, the giant block “S” is a striking symbol visiblethroughout the stadium and captured regularly bynational television cameras. The “S” Zone, which hashad several locations over the years, most recentlymoved from the end zone to the 20-yard line. The areais marked on the bleachers on Fridays before homegames by volunteers from the Lion Ambassadors whoalso seek sponsorships to offset the cost of printing thet-shirts and coordinate the delivery and distribution of t-shirts on game days.

� The Nittany Lion Shrine

Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated onOct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animalsculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garattimolded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into themost recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrinewas chosen from six models submitted by Warneke.

The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests ina natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. Thesite was chosen because of its accessibility, the sur-rounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would notbe dwarfed by nearby buildings.

� Blue & White

Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identifiedby their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t theoriginal school colors.

A three-member committee representing the sopho-more, junior and senior classes was appointed inOctober of 1887 to develop color options from which thestudent body would select the school’s official colors.Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of thestudent body after considering the color combinationspresented by the committee.

Soon many students and the baseball team weresporting pink and black striped blazers and caps.However, problems arose when the pink faded to whiteafter several weeks of exposure to the sun. The stu-dents then opted for blue, rather than black, and white.The official announcement of the new choice was madeon March 18, 1890.

THE GREATEST SHOW IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL UNIVERSITY

Since admitting its first students in 1859, Penn State hasawarded some 642,000 degrees whose value is recognizedworldwide. That value reflects an educational experience sec-ond to none in quality and richness. In addition, Penn Statealumni — there are more than 285,000 in Pennsylvania alone— have job- and social-networking opportunities that no othercollege or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.

The University’s beginnings were humble. Chartered as acollege of scientific agriculture, the institution was located inrural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the CentreFurnace iron works (remains of which can be seen todayalong East College Avenue), agreed to donate 200 acres offarmland for a campus.

Founding President Evan Pugh wanted Penn State toembody a new approach to higher education that blended tradi-tional studies with subjects that had practical value. He joinedsimilar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress topass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act gave individualstates tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds would supportcolleges that agreed to include engineering, science, and theliberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State theCommonwealth’s sole land-grant institution, thus bestowing onthe privately incorporated college a wide range of public func-tions and obligations that continue to this day.

Initial efforts to diversify the curriculum met with mixedsuccess, but by the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. Itranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineer-

ing schools, a distinction it still holds. President GeorgeAtherton invigorated the liberal arts, and recruited Professor ofEnglish Fred Pattee to teach the nation’s first course inAmerican literature, heretofore considered an unworthystepchild of English literature. Professor of AgricultureWhitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers forsoil enrichment had global impact on crop yields. Penn Statein 1871 became one of the first land-grant schools in theNortheast to admit women, graduated its first international stu-dent in 1890, and its first African-American student in 1905.

In the early 1900s, Penn State launched an extensive sys-tem of outreach education, “carrying the college to the people,”as then-President Edwin Sparks liked to say. It established thenation’s first collegiate-level correspondence courses in agricul-ture, and in 1912 helped create a statewide system of countyagents in agriculture and home economics. Today’s Penn StateWorld Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning throughthe Internet, is descended from that strong outreach tradition.

But undergraduate education remained foremost. Asenrollment surpassed 5,000 students in 1936, Penn Statebecame Pennsylvania’s largest source of baccalaureatedegrees. Also in the 1930s, a state-wide system of undergrad-uate centers was created for students who, in the depths ofthe Great Depression, could not afford to leave their home-towns to get a college education. The centers offered the firstyear of baccalaureate studies and were the predecessors oftoday’s system of 19 primarily undergraduate campuses locat-ed throughout the Commonwealth.

Following the Second World War, Penn State underwentunprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returningmilitary veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boomgeneration. Total enrollment at all Penn State campusesclimbed to 40,000 by 1970.

The University also emerged on the national scene as aresearch powerhouse. Research — a land-grant obligation —first garnered international attention in fields as diverse asdairy science, acoustics, psychology, and petroleum refining.As world-renowned faculty encouraged greater student partic-ipation in research and creative activities, Penn State was ableto provide an enriched undergraduate experience unavailableat the state-owned universities.

Annual research expenditures now exceed $765 millionand help to make Penn State the largest single non-govern-mental contributor to Pennsylvania’s economy. The Universitygenerates about $8.5 billion in total economic impact eachyear.

Today, as measured by the more than 100,000 applica-tions for admissions it receives annually, Penn State isAmerica’s most popular university. Enrollment is spread acrossthe University Park campus, the research and administrativehub; 19 undergraduate campuses; Penn State Milton S.Hershey Medical Center, including the College of Medicine;the Pennsylvania College of Technology; the Penn StateDickinson School of Law, Carlisle campus; the Penn StateGreat Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; andthe Penn State World Campus.

Since he was appointedPenn State’s 16th presidentin 1995, Dr. Graham Spanierhas been the guiding forcebehind several historic aca-demic initiatives, includingthe creation of The SchreyerHonors College, the Schoolof International Affairs, thePenn State World Campus,and the College of

Information Sciences and Technology. He has expandedoutreach to citizens of Pennsylvania and has overseennearly $3 billion in philanthropic contributions to PennState.

Dr. Spanier has been described as an unconventionaluniversity president. He loves spending time with students.He is a magician and adviser to the Penn State PerformingMagicians, and he has performed with Penn State’sMusical Theatre students, the Blue Band, Glee Club, andChamber Orchestra. He occasionally substitutes for theNittany Lion mascot. He has run with the bulls in Pamplona,has a commercial pilot’s license, and plays the washboardwith the Deacons of Dixieland and other bands. He and hisracquetball partner are eleven-time Penn State co-ed intra-mural racquetball champions. He is the host of “To the Best

of My Knowledge,” the live, call-in program on public tele-vision and radio and “Expert Opinion,” the sports topic pro-gram on the Big Ten Network. But most of his time is spentoverseeing one of the nation’s largest and most compre-hensive universities, with 95,000 students and 46,000employees on 24 campuses, an annual budget of $4 bil-lion, and a physical plant of 1,700 buildings.

A national leader in higher education, Dr. Spanier wasthe recipient of the TIAA-CREF Theodore M. HesburghAward for Leadership Excellence. He serves as chair of theNational Security Higher Education Advisory Board, is amember of the National Counterintelligence WorkingGroup, is a member of the Board of Advisors of the NavalPostgraduate School, and serves on the board of JuniorAchievement Worldwide.

Dr. Spanier has chaired the Association of AmericanUniversities, the Board of Directors of the NationalAssociation of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges,the Big Ten Conference Council of Presidents/Chancellors,and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors. He led theKellogg Commission on the Future of State and Land-Grant Universities, was a founding member of the Internet2board, and served on the Board of Trustees of the National4-H Council. He was president of the National Council ofFamily Relations, chairman of the Board of Directors of theChristian Children’s Fund, vice-chair of the Worldwide

Universities Network, and co-chair of the Committee onHigher Education and the Entertainment Communities.

Dr. Spanier’s prior positions include chancellor of theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln, provost and vice presidentfor academic affairs at Oregon State University, and viceprovost for undergraduate studies at the State University ofNew York at Stony Brook. He previously served Penn Statefrom 1973-1982 as a member of the faculty and in threeadministrative positions in Penn State’s College of Healthand Human Development. He holds academic appointmentsas professor of human development and family studies,sociology, demography, and family and community medicine.

A distinguished researcher and scholar, he has morethan 100 scholarly publications, including 10 books, and wasthe founding editor of the Journal of Family Issues. A familysociologist, demographer, and marriage and family therapist,he earned his Ph.D. in sociology from NorthwesternUniversity, where he was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow, and hisbachelor’s and master’s degrees from Iowa State University,where he was honored with the Distinguished AchievementCitation and an honorary doctorate.

Well into his second decade asthe architect of the Penn StateIntercollegiate Athletics program,Tim Curley’s dynamic and pas-sionate leadership has been thedriving force behind the NittanyLions’ tremendous level of athlet-ic and academic achievement.

Named Director of Athleticson December 30, 1993, Curley’sleadership has positioned Penn

State among the nation’s premier athletic departments. Duringthe Nittany Lions’ 17 full years as members of the Big TenConference, Penn State has captured 19 NCAA Championships,more than double the next closest Big Ten schools.

Curley has seen Nittany Lion squads win 61 Big Ten titlesand numerous individual national and conference crowns duringhis 16-plus years directing Penn State’s comprehensive andnationally-respected athletic program. The Lions have won eightNCAA Championships since March 2007.

During the 2009 fall semester, the women’s volleyball teamwon an unprecedented third consecutive NCAA Championship,rallying from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Texas, 3-2, in an epic titlematch. Penn State won its seventh consecutive outright Big Tencrown and extended its winning streak to 102 matches, the sec-ond-longest streak by any team in NCAA Division I history.

The football team won 11 games for the 15th time under JoePaterno and won its fourth bowl game in the past five years. Thewomen’s soccer team captured its 12th consecutive Big TenChampionship, tying the longest string of Big Ten women’s titlesall-time in any sport.

A 1976 Penn State graduate, Curley’s dedicated and enthu-siastic leadership has helped Penn State capture 24 Big Tenchampionships or tournament titles the past five years, the sec-ond-highest total in the conference.

In 2008-09, the women’s volleyball team captured its secondconsecutive NCAA title, earning a 38-0 record, and its sixth consec-utive outright Big Ten Championship. The football team won its sec-ond conference title in four years and played in the 2009 Rose Bowl.The Nittany Lion basketball team won its first National InvitationTournament championship, posting a program-record 27 victo-ries, and the fencing team won another NCAA Championship.

In 2007-08, Penn State became just the second school inNCAA history to have both volleyball teams win the nationalchampionship in the same academic year.

During the fall 2005 semester, Penn State won an unprece-dented five Big Ten Championships — in field hockey, football,men’s soccer, women’s soccer and women’s volleyball — becom-ing the first institution to win more than three titles in the fall sea-son in Big Ten history. Nittany Lion teams compiled an incredible49-1 record against Big Ten competition in the fall.

In June 2009, Curley again was recognized for his efforts inhelping Penn State maintain its stature as one of the nation’s pre-mier athletic programs with his selection as the Northeast AthleticDirector-of-the-Year by NACDA. He was one of just four regionalDivision I-A honorees and previously earned the award in 2003.

As he surveys the athletic program he has been instrumen-tal in assembling over the past 34 years, Tim Curley can’t help butbe proud of the athletic and academic accomplishments of PennState’s 750 student-athletes in 29 varsity sports:

� During a visit to the University Park campus, late NCAAPresident Myles Brand stated, “Penn State is the poster child fordoing it right in college sports.”

� In the initial 17 years of the NACDA Directors’ Cup all-sports survey, Penn State has finished in the Top 25 every year,earning seven Top 10 finishes, with 12 placings in the Top 15. TheLions finished No. 11 in 2009-10 and are one of only 10 programsnationwide to have finished in the Top 25 every year.

� In the most recent comprehensive look at the 117 collegesand universities participating in Division I football and men’s basket-ball, U.S. News and World Report selected Penn State as one of 10Division I-A institutions for its College Sports Honor Roll. Data ongender equity, number of varsity sports, graduation rates, sanctions,and wins and losses were analyzed to determine the listing.

� Penn State has captured 19 NCAA Championships in men’sand women’s volleyball; men’s and women’s fencing and men’s gym-nastics during Curley’s tenure. Nittany and Lady Lion teams havemade 31 NCAA “Final Four” appearances during his tenure.

� Penn State also has established itself as a force in thehighly competitive Big Ten — winning 65 regular-season or tour-nament titles in football, baseball, women’s basketball, field hock-ey, men’s gymnastics, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s andwomen’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor and outdoor trackand field and cross country, and women’s volleyball. The Lionswon a school-record six titles in 2005-06, a mark they matched in2008-09.

� In November 2009, the NCAA reported that Penn Statestudent-athletes earned a school-record tying 89 percentGraduation Success Rate, 10 points higher than the nationalDivision I-A average. Twenty-three of Penn State’s 25 teams com-piled a GSR at or above the national average of 79 percent orhigher (track and field and cross country count as one sport).

Twenty-one Penn State squads earned a GSR higher thanthe national average for their sport, according to the NCAA.

The NCAA also reported in 2009 that Penn State student-athletes registered a four-year federal graduation rate of 82 per-cent, significantly above the 63 percent national average. PennState’s GSR and four-year federal graduation rates were second-highest in the Big Ten to Northwestern.

� The 2009 NCAA report also showed that Penn State’sAfrican-American student-athletes earned a four-year federal 78percent graduation rate, 25 points higher than the 53 percentDivision I national average.

Of the Penn State student-athletes in the NCAA studies from1993-94 through 2002-03 who exhausted their eligibility, 96 per-cent left with their diplomas.

� In June 2010, the NCAA reported that 12 Penn Stateteams earned a perfect Academic Progress Rate score of 1,000in 2008-09 and that 24 teams had a four-year APR score at orabove the Division I average for their respective sport.

� During the 2009 fall semester, 189 Penn State student-athletes compiled a 3.50 grade-point average or higher to gainDean’s List recognition (minimum of 12 credits). A total of 415student-athletes earned a GPA of 3.0 or above, representing 58percent of active student-athletes during the fall semester.

� In 2009-10, 235 Penn State student-athletes receivedAcademic All-Big Ten honors. Over the past 16 years, Penn Stateleads all Big Ten institutions with 3,547 all-academic honorees.

� A total of 10 student-athletes earned ESPN TheMagazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades in 2009-10on the heels of a school-record 11 the year prior. Penn State has160 such selections all-time, with 112 in the last 16-plus yearsunder Curley’s leadership, a figure higher than any other Big Tenschool’s all-time total, since the program began in 1952.

To continue to give the coaching staff and student-athletesthe resources to succeed academically and athletically, Curleyhas guided the most ambitious fund-raising and athletics facilitiescampaigns in the department’s history. The “For The Future”Campaign entered the public phase in April 2010 and will con-clude in 2014. More than $128 million was raised forIntercollegiate Athletics through June 2008 to easily surpass theSuccess With Honor Campaign goal of $100 million.

The Athletics physical plant has improved substantially underCurley’s watch. The Nittany Lion Softball Park, golf clubhouse,soccer practice fields and men’s and women’s basketball officesare among projects recently completed or under construction.

The most recently completed capital project was a new base-ball stadium — Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Penn State base-ball team shares the state-of-the-art facility with a short-season

minor league team — the State College Spikes. Curley played a sig-nificant role in developing the unique partnership for the constructionof the 5,406-seat stadium, which opened in June 2006.

A new student fitness center and expanded and renovatedwrestling practice center, locker room and strength training facili-ties opened in Rec Hall in recent years.

The 12,500-seat expansion and renovation of Beaver Stadiumwas completed in 2001, raising the capacity to 107,282. The proj-ect included private suite and club level seating previously unavail-able and creation of the Penn State All-Sports Museum to housethe University’s impressive collection of sports memorabilia.

Other facility projects completed in the past decade include theLasch Football Building, Ashenfelter Indoor Multi-Sport Facility andSarni Tennis Center and renovations to the White Building, EastArea Locker Room, Jeffrey Field and a new field hockey facility.

Curley also oversees the expansive intramural/club sportprograms — which included a fourth consecutive national cham-pionship in men’s ice hockey in 2003 and women’s rugby nation-al titles in 2004, ‘09 and ‘10 — on the University Park campus, aswell as general recreational activities. He’s charged as well withresponsibility for the athletic and recreational programs at PennState’s Commonwealth Campuses.

It is a dizzying pace for Curley, who is a regular presence atathletic events, team banquets, alumni meetings and regional andnational meetings of athletic administrators.

Curley served as president of the National Association ofCollegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in 2005-06. He was thefirst Penn State Athletic Director to serve as president of NACDA,which is a professional and educational association for more than6,100 athletic administrators at more than 1,600 institutions in theUnited States, Canada and Mexico.

Elected a NACDA officer in 2002, Curley is a recent member ofthe NCAA Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) and the Boardof Directors of the Honda Collegiate Women Sports Awards. He alsois on the Boards of Visitors for Penn State’s John Curley Center forSports Journalism and the advisory board for the Center for SportsBusiness and Research in The Smeal College of Business.

Curley also was appointed to a special NCAA task force thatreviewed Division I recruiting bylaws and to the NCAA Division IFootball Issues Committee, a group which he chaired. He previ-ously was a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and served as chair of the NCAAPostseason Bowl Certification Sub-Committee.

It is no exaggeration to say Tim Curley is someone whoknows the Penn State athletic program from the ground up. AState College product, he grew up across the street from NewBeaver Field where some of his most memorable days as ayoungster were spent there and in Rec Hall. He parked cars, soldgame programs and served as a baseball batboy.

The top assistant to Athletic Director Jim Tarman, Curley wasnamed Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, when Tarmanretired after 35 years as a Penn State athletic administrator.

Curley, 56, has been a full-time member of the athletic staffsince he joined the department as a graduate assistant footballcoach. A product of State College Area High School where heplayed basketball and football for Jim Williams’ undefeated 1971team, Curley walked on as a football player only to have his careercut short by injuries. After earning his bachelor’s degree in healthand physical education in 1976, he was a graduate assistantcoach while pursuing his master’s degree in counselor education.

Curley was named the Lions’ first full-time football recruitingcoordinator in 1978 and was instrumental in identifying and recruit-ing a number of members of the 1982 national championship team.In 1981, he was named assistant to the athletic director where hewas involved with the day-to-day operations of the department.

Curley was active in the development of the Academic SupportCenter for Student-Athletes; the Penn State Sports MedicineCenter; the Varsity “S” Club and the Football Letterman’s Club dur-ing his tenure as assistant to the athletic director. He also was instru-mental in putting in place Penn State’s first NCAA compliance pro-gram and acted as the department’s compliance coordinator for fiveyears before surrendering those responsibilities when he wasnamed Associate Athletic Director in 1992.

He is married to the former Melinda Harr of Washington, Pa.,who earned degrees from Penn State in 1977 and 1986. The Curleyshave two children — a daughter, Devon, and a son, Tanner.
