My favorite Penn State athlete of the 2010s is a tie between Michael Mauti and Michael Zordich. A lot of men played a role in saving Penn State Football between November 2011 and September 2012, but few had a bigger role than Mauti and Zordich. I still remember getting chills and being ready to run through a wall after their famous speech after the NCAA sanctions were dished out. Few men ever loved or cared more about Penn State Football than those two, and few have done more for the program.
I’m going with the layup here and saying my favorite player was Saquon Barkley.
