I’ve looked back at a few Penn State football quarterbacks over the last couple weeks. Their careers and experiences in Happy Valley have all differed. But, one that has a rarely told story is Rashard Casey’s. The dual threat quarterback played for the Nittany Lions from 1997-2000 after a highly-successful high school career at Hoboken . The highlight of his career came in a 24-0 Alamo Bowl win in the 1999 season, earning MVP honors.
Throughout that season, Casey and starting quarterback Kevin Thompson efficiently guided the offense to a 10-3 campaign. Casey came in as a change-of-pace quarterback, giving the Lions another playmaker on the field.
