Quick Story
I attended Penn State University as an undergraduate student from 2014-2018. Saquon Barkley played at Penn State during the 2015-2017 football seasons. Barkley set several school records while playing for Penn State and was always my favorite player to watch.
I used to see Saquon around campus once or twice a semester. One time while walking to the bars, I ran into Saquon on the street. We exchanged a few words, which he probably does not even remember, but it mattered a lot to me at the time! Saquon Barkley is a Penn State football hero.
