This week’s Penn State Football Players for the 10/21/2020 SCQB Club Weekly Event on Zoom will be Cam Sullivan-Brown #6 – WR and Chris Stoll #91 – SN

I’m sure everyone is excited to hear that 2020 Penn State Football is back. I know I am looking forward seeing our Nittany Lions play starting  October 24.

Now that the schedule is out, it looks as if we are really going to have a football season! So, unless something drastically changes, the State College Quarterback Club will kick-off the season with the first of at least 9 Virtual Events featuring Coach Franklin and selected players interviewed by the voice of Penn State, Steve Jones. In addition, we expect to have special guests join our program throughout the season.

If you were considering joining this year, please sign-up within the next two weeks. We plan to conduct a practice Virtual Event on October 14, with what I am calling Week 0. Week 0 will be just to make sure all technology issues are identified, and all members will be able to link to the first full Event scheduled for October 21. You will find membership information on our website at  statecollegeqbclub.com under the tab  Membership. Please forward this email to anyone who you know that would be interested in joining us this fall.

Although we cannot be together in Beaver Stadium, we look forward to an exciting season cheering our Nittany Lions to a championship, and interacting weekly with selected players and coach Franklin by way of our Virtual Events.

It’s easy, Sign-up Now!

Off the mat, he was part of the Skull & Bones Senior Honorary Society, VP of the Student-Athlete Advisory Board (SAAB) and was awarded the NLC True Grit Award. Lange graduated in 1998 with a degree in history. Upon graduation, Lange coached wrestling for Hofstra, North Carolina and then Eastern Michigan before moving to California to start an insurance business.

He went on to graduate in 2000 with a degree in recreation park and tourism management with a minor in business. Upon graduation, Pettigrew played for NFL’s San Diego Chargers as well as the Arena Football League’s Chicago Rush. He is currently an administrator for Fenwick High School.
