From Penn State to France: Former Nittany Lions DB/WR Jake Kiley making a splash across the pond

All throughout the picturesque city of Chambery, situated in the heart of the French Alps, people can’t drive past certain billboards or walk by bus stops without seeing his face.

Jake Kiley, a former Penn State football player whose college career never quite took off, is trying to make a name for himself in the historical region of Savoy.

Kiley — who appeared in only two games for the Nittany Lions after an ACL tear and broken leg — is almost halfway through a 10-game season as the starting quarterback for Les Aigles de Chambery, a team in the French American Football League’s second division.
