Penn State football coach James Franklin and quarterback Tommy Stevens talks about wide receiver Justin Shorter after practice on April 3, 2019. By
At 3 a.m. on a Saturday in February, Penn State wide receiver Justin Shorter sat in his Beaver Hall dorm and played Fortnite, chatting with walk-on quarterback Grayson Kline over their gaming headsets. That is, until Shorter put the controller down.
“You want to go throw?” Shorter asked Kline, now a tight end. His teammate obliged. Shorter and Kline walked to Holuba Hall, turned on the lights at the indoor facility and ran routes.
