The Nittany Lions received a pleasant surprise Monday night, as soon-to-be All-B1G left tackle Olu Fashanu announced he was forgoing the 2023 NFL Draft to return to Penn State for one more season.
In a story with ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Fashanu outlined the reasons he wanted to come back: to earn his degree and to help Penn State win a freaking National Championship.
Fashanu told ESPN that he felt like he has “unfinished business” at Penn State and that he’s returning primarily to help the Nittany Lions accomplish bigger goals, specifically naming the Big Ten Championship and a national title as two things he’d like to achieve in 2023.
