Any Penn State is almost certainly familiar with Lou Prato’s work. Prato spent decades covering the Nittany Lions storied history on the gridiron, acting as a storyteller of Penn State Football for generations of fans.
It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Prato, whose coverage of the Nittany Lions dates back to 1958 when he worked as sports editor for The Daily Collegian.
Below is a statement put out by Penn State Athletics, detailing Prato’s life and storied career as a historian of Penn State Football.
Thanks for all the memories, Lou.
