📈 STOCK UP

🔺 In The Lion’s Den. Wednesday was Penn State’s turn at Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis, and it sure looked like head coach James Franklin and his players — Dvon J-Thomas, Jaylen Reed and Tyler Warren — enjoyed themselves at Lucas Oil Stadium!

🔺 Leading The Way. Penn State women’s volleyball assistant coach Brian Toron has been chosen to lead the USA Open Team at the 2025 Maccabiah Games in Israel!

The Maccabiah, which is played every four years, is the world’s largest Jewish athletic competition and the second largest sporting event in the world in terms of number of athletes competing, after the Olympics.

🔺 Year 1. Only 37 more days until Penn State football is back on the field!

Deon Butler had one of the best careers in Penn State history at wide receiver, hauling in 179 passes for 2,771 yards and 22 touchdowns. Did you know it all started with 37 catches during his freshman year, with almost 700 yards and nine touchdowns?
