After over a month of speculation, started by a cryptic Instagram post, it was confirmed during Penn State Football Media Day that Manny Bowen is indeed, a member of the Penn State football team once again. Bowen’s name was listed on the latest version of Penn State’s 2018 roster.
Bowen as you may recall, was initially booted off the team prior to the Fiesta Bowl last December, after missing the team’s final three regular season for an unspecified “violation of team rules.” Given that this wasn’t the first time he had been suspended (Bowen was not allowed to play in the 2017 Rose Bowl, also due to an unspecified violation of team rules), it seemed as if his PSU playing days were over.
