A trio of Penn State Men’s Soccer players are on the national radar this fall as the Nittany Lions look to make a push for a Big Ten championship on the pitch.
The Senior CLASS Award released its candidates for the 2021 award this week. Among the list of candidates were three Penn State Nittany Lions; Danny Bloyou, Brandon Hackenberg, and Pierre Reedy. No school has as many nominees for the award as Penn State, a fact the program felt should be pointed out to their followers on social media.
To be nominated for the award, the student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior or graduate-student and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character, and competition.
This is the first time that Danny Bloyou and Pierre Reedy have been nominated for the award. Brandon Hackenberg was nominated during the 2020-21 season.
