Watch (and listen) to Penn State football player sing national anthem before spring game

Watch Penn State football player perform the national anthem before the spring game.

Penn State’s Blue-White Game may not have had perfect weather conditions to close out spring practices, but one of its offensive linemen was a ray of sunshine prior to the game with his rendition of the national anthem.

Instead of the Star-Spangled Banner being performed by the Penn State Blue Band, redshirt junior offensive lineman [autotag]Golden Israel-Achumba[/autotag] was handed a microphone and asked to start things off with his vocal cords being put on display. And with a little creative liberty, it is safe to say he delivered. Performing the national anthem is among the most nerve-racking things any performer can do no matter what the stage may be. Beaver Stadium had a good number of empty seats on a drizzly afternoon in State College, but there is still a lot of pressure under these conditions.

You can see the full performance by Israel-Achumba in the tweet below, which was shared by the official Twitter account for the Penn State football program.

Nice job, Golden!
