Imagine a granite monument, a simple rectangle as thick as a football, that stands just outside Beaver Stadium’s east side. Imagine walking over to the structure, one that’s maybe just a head taller than yourself, and catching your own reflection in the dark, polished finish.
Imagine looking closer, and reading the names engraved in a stunning white — names like Steve Suhey, Dennie Hoggard and Sam Tamburo — and imagine a couple dozen more, each one appearing from the rosters of the 1946 and 1947 Penn State football teams.
Imagine that. Because Penn State trailblazer Wally Triplett did.
