spective have made an impression on his fellow players. "I just try to be there for my teammates," he said, "whether it's emotionally or spir- itually, trying to get them going in practice, trying to motivate them and trying to lead by example, not just by saying it." His approach has also made an impres- sion on his coaches. Said Franklin, "I'm very, very proud of him. I got a chance to meet his :ancee and got a chance to meet his daughter. I think that's changed his life, knowing that he's not just playing for himself, and not just playing for the Penn State fans and Penn State community, but also for his daughter. From talking to our academic people, that's had a profound impact on him." If he has any more highlight-reel moments in the :nal two months of his college career, all the better. He may not be interested in reminiscing about his star turn at Wisconsin, but he'd be quite happy to reprise it. Said Olaniyan, "I'm looking forward to having more moments like that this year." ■ O F F E N S E S P E C I A L T E A M S D E F E N S E QUARTERBACK 14 Christian Hackenberg (6-4, 234, So.) 9 Trace McSorley (6-0, 192, Fr.)
