It is not uncommon for notable alumni and fans to make an appearance during Penn State’s annual Blue-White Game and the festivities that surround it. In the past, there have been sightings of Anthony “Spice” Adams and Keegan-Michael Key doing his usual [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag] impression.
With that in mind, we also will be seeing a high-profile football alumnus at the 2022 installment of the famous spring game. Former Nittany Lion and current Dallas Cowboys linebacker [autotag]Micah Parsons[/autotag] teased he will be coming back for the game in a message posted on his Twitter account.
Can’t wait for the Penn State blue and white game 🤟🏾🔥

Parsons hails from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania so the Blue-White Game and Penn State had a special place in his heart. Going from watching the game to playing in the game to then come back as a famous alumnus is special for Parsons. He would start out his career with a tremendous freshman season where he would be a freshman All-American.
Parsons would end up opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID concerns. In his one full year starting in 2019, Parsons was a consensus All-American, first-team All-Big Ten, and capped off the season with a Cotton Bowl win that saw him earn MVP.
Position battles like the quarterback position and the continued emergence of players from a talented rookie class will highlight this year’s spring game in Happy Valley. The Blue-White Game will take place on April 23 and will air live on The Big Ten Network. Nittany Lions Wire will have live coverage that day as well.
