Penn State held its annual awards banquet on Sunday, Dec. 12 to honor the team and individual performances from the 2021 regular season. In addition to the many current players who were recognized, Penn State also honored former standout defensive tackle Jordan Hill with the Alumni Athlete Award.
Hill was a three-year starter from 2010-2012, and was one of the leaders of the inspirational 2012 team. He went on to become a third round draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks, and earned a Super Bowl ring for the 2014 season that ended with the Seahawks crushing the Denver Broncos 43-8.
