Sean Clifford Returning for 6th Season at Penn State

The Sean Clifford Era in Happy Valley isn’t quite over yet as the three-year starting quarterback announced that he will return for his sixth season with Penn State.

Clifford is eligible to return because of the NCAA’s extra year given to all players who played during the 2020 football season.

Obviously, Cliff is a bit of a polarizing figure around these parts. He has his fans and his detractors, with it being a unique situation that both sides have valid points. The highs with Clifford have been very high — he’s twice been the starting quarterback for Penn State teams ranked No.
