Penn State football, Big Ten champions honored by Pennsylvania State Senate

James Franklin, Cael Sanderson, Guy Gadowsky and more Nittany Lion coaches and players shared a conversation or two at the Pennsylvania State Capitol on Monday afternoon.

No, they weren’t trying their hands at politics.

The conference-title winning Penn State programs — football, wrestling, men’s hockey, women’s soccer, field hockey, men’s volleyball and men’s and women’s indoor track & field — were recognized on the floor of the Pennsylvania State Senate in Harrisburg.

Senior linebacker Jason Cabinda and offensive lineman Andrew Nelson joined Franklin as state Sen. Jake Corman, R, Benner Township, lauded the Nittany Lions’ comeback win over Wisconsin in December’s Big Ten title game.
