Reading United standout Aaron Molloy ready for bigger stage at Penn State

When Aaron Molloy first visited the campus of Penn State University, he stood on the pristine pitch at Jeffrey Field, looked around and imagined himself playing for the Nittany Lions.

Months later, he’ll get the opportunity to do just that when he suits up for the Nittany Lions in their regular season opener at home against Hofstra.

“I took a deep breath, took it all in and knew this was where I wanted to be,” Molloy recalled in a phone interview earlier this week.

Reading United factors in heavily to the 19-year-old’s recent arrival in State College.
