Ah, The Ivy League…or as it has come to be known inside the Lasch Building, Lackawanna College Northeast.
For the second straight season, a rather large student-athlete has used his time playing football within this coalition of safety schools as a springboard to tackle the athletic and academic rigors of Penn State.
Last year, it took two disjointed series vs. Wisconsin for Harvard grad transfer Eric Wilson to unseat Anthony Whigan as the Nittany Lions’ left guard, a post he didn’t relinquish for the remainder of the season. This year, it’s Cornell offensive tackle Hunter Nourzad whose recent decision to pick Penn State over offers from Iowa, Illinois, Auburn and Virginia Tech not only further fortifies the burgeoning Ivy League-to-Happy Valley pipeline but also provides Phil Trautwein a dependable and accomplished replacement to fill one of three holes on the Nittany Lions’ offensive line in 2022.
