Penn State football prepares to take on No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday, Nov. 1 for another game in the Big Ten rivalry. For quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, though, it's more than just a heated contest, it's a full-circle moment.
The Lewis Center, Ohio native will face a team he grew up watching and admiring. This is something former starting quarterback Drew Allar can relate to as Allar grew up in Medina, Ohio and took his collegiate career to Happy Valley as well.
"Since I was a kid, I dreamed about playing in that stadium, so it's gonna be cool to go back home &[and] be able to have the chance to do that," Grunkemeyer said, according to Lions247's Daniel Gallan.
