Matt Stankiewitch received phone calls and letters from more than a dozen Division I-A colleges wanting him to play football at their university.
Deep in his heart, the Blue Mountain junior lineman wanted to receive scholarship offers from three schools — Penn State, Connecticut and Rutgers.

Stankiewitch became the first Blue Mountain football player to accept a scholarship offer from Penn State on Saturday, when he verbally committed to play for Joe Paterno and the Nittany Lions.
