UNIVERSITY PARK
Four years later, and special-teams captain Nick Scott can still remember her. He’ll never be able to forget.
As a freshman, Scott traveled with his teammates to the Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital, where he met a young girl about 13 years old who was in the midst of a tough battle with cancer. Scott remembered Tuesday how they connected from the start — how she smiled in the face of adversity, how they talked, and how it was like they’d known each other for much longer.
Two or three weeks after that meeting, Scott learned, she passed away.
