 Penn State walk-ons
Up to the minute news about the Penn State Nittany Lions from GoTeamsGo. We'll find the latest Penn State Nittany Lions news so you can chat about here. Quote: Walk-ons' experience more than just notoriety
Penn State Digital Collegian, PA - 5 hours ago
If it weren't for the thrill of taking charge in practice, voluntarily letting a first-teamer strong-arm his behind into the hardwood floor, guard Adam Highberger thinks the best part of his day might just be lying in bed.
A walk-on's success cannot be measured by replayed game highlights on the jumbotron, simply because those would be sideline shots of him or her chatting it up on the bench as glorified cheerleaders -- separated from lights that are brighter than the practice courts
by a couple of feet and a lopsided score.
When sophomore walk-ons Clay Scovill and Will Leiner entered Saturday's game with 57 seconds left against Michigan State, the Penn State basketball team was already doomed to a 91-64 defeat, and their substitutions didn't incite even the mildest fan reaction.
