Uniform numbers for Penn State early-enrollees revealed during THON weekend

Uniform numbers for Penn State early enrollees in Class of 2022 revealed during THON weekend, including Drew Allar and Nicholas Singleton.

THON weekend is a signature event on Penn State’s campus, and it is much more important than sports. But sometimes it tears a page back on some sports developments going on around the campus. In this case, the first look at some of Penn State’s newest additions in the Class of 2022 in their new jerseys is worth noting.

Lions 247 caught a number of Penn State’s early enrollees in the Class of 2022, including quarterback Drew Allar and running back Nicholas Singleton, taking part in some activities that are a part of the THON Weekend, and they were wearing Penn State uniforms for the first time in a public setting.

While there could always be some changes down the line before the 2022 football season kicks off with a Thursday night opener at Purdue in Week 1, here is what uniform numbers some of the newest Nittany Lions were spotted wearing this weekend.

  • Kaden Saunders, WR – 7
  • Beau Pribula, QB – 9
  • Nicholas Singleton, RB – 10
  • Drew Allar, QB – 15
  • Omari Evans, WR – 18
  • Zane Durant, DL – 28
  • Jerry Cross, TE – 88

Penn State’s spring game, the Blue-White Game, is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 23.

Super Bowl champion Nick Scott returns to Penn State for THON

From winning a Super Bowl to making a return to Happy Valley for THON, it was a busy week for Nick Scott.

[mm-video type=video id=01fsdjmvkbqtq16mf3bv playlist_id=01ey902ehrs6e9bvhw player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fsdjmvkbqtq16mf3bv/01fsdjmvkbqtq16mf3bv-5a1f8cf3679d7ec39d53a0890364af04.jpg]

It was quite a week for former Penn State star Nick Scott. On Sunday, he celebrated a victory in the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams. And on Saturday, he capped his week-long celebration with a return to Happy Valley for the biggest event on the Penn State calendar, THON.

Scott made the journey to the Bryce Jordan Center for Penn State’s annual dance marathon raising money to help families with children fighting cancer. Naturally, Scott showed up wearing his Rams jersey and he received a warm welcome as he took the stage to address the crowd gathering inside the arena for the weekend.

THON clearly has a special spot in Scott’s heart that dates back to his college days. In 2018, Scott made the decision to participate in THON as a dancer rather than as a part of the football program, saying he wanted to leave an impact without a football uniform on.

Scott wasn’t the only former Nittany Lions showing up this weekend. Joining Scott in his return to Happy Valley was Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth.

It is certainly good to see THON back to being the kind of event it is designed to be after the last couple of years. Every dollar raised is for an excellent cause. We’ll wait to see what the grand total is for this year’s raised total.
