This young man gets what it means when 100,000+ cheer....
WE ARE!!!!!!

Very classy move by that young man.
I am so happy we still have classy kids like Saquon coming to Penn State. His attitude will make me root for him even more.
Wow...what a classy move by a classy kid. My new favorite recruit. I'll follow him closely.
He even gave credit to his Momma for teaching his the righteous path! Yeah I LIKE this kid.
Dem, he comes from a two parent home. His family sat with us at home games. Aunts, uncles, siblings and cousins. Fun people, but dead serious about education and doing what's right. Saquon is well liked not only by his teammates, but by their parents.
Believe me when I tell you that is not always the case with top athletes.
He is graduating with a 3.8 GPA, which makes him a complete package. Nobody knows how he will do at Penn State, but there is no doubt here that he will give it everything he has, to do well.

I am having a bad day and this really lifted my spirits. Good for him to have such empathy and put it into action. All the best wishes for his future at PSU(academically and athletically).
Wow, I know you follow recruits fairly closely, but that's high praise indeed.
From watching some highlight tapes, I love his vision and ability to change direction.
We're better people for knowing of this kid, what he did will pay itself forward in more ways than we'd be able to count.
Wordsworth, from Tintern Abbey:
"...such, perhaps
As have no slight or trivial influence
On that best portion of a good man's life,
His little, nameless, unremembered, acts
Of kindness and of love."
The only way kids like that can hurt you is if you don't have enough of them.
So I'm definitely going out on a limb a little (I mean predicting any recruit will win the Heisman requires that), but in all seriousness he will be a great Penn State running back and I would be shocked if he didn't show us some of that skill this fall.
