So You’ve Drafted Penn State Offensive Lineman Juice Scruggs . . .

A former four-star prospect, Frederick “Juice” Scruggs chose Penn State over the likes of Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State. After seeing limited snaps as a freshman, it was hoped that Juice could make a name for himself heading into the 2019 season; unfortunately, Scruggs was involved in a car accident that spring, during which he was ejected from the vehicle, and it was uncertain if he would ever play football again. After nearly 18 months in recovery, a large portion of which he spent in a back brace, Juice returned to the field for the 2020 season - earning him the Tim Shaw Thrive Award, presented to the Penn State student-athlete who has overcome adversities and been an inspiration to his fellow teammates.
