Penn State Nittany Lions great LaVar Arrington announces College Football Hall of Fame induction a little too early

Former Penn State Nittany Lions great LaVar Arrington is known for "The LaVar Leap," where he anticipated the snap count and jumped over Illinois' offensive line to stuff a running play. It landed Arrington on magazine covers and put him in the 1999 Heisman Trophy discussion.

Arrington's preternatural ability to anticipate and jump plays made him an all-time-great college football player and the No. 2 overall draft pick of the Washington Football Team in 2000, and put him on the ballot for the 2022 College Football Hall of Fame. However, Arrington jumped offsides on Thursday morning.
