When the NCAA restored Penn State’s 112 football victories from 1998-2011 on Friday, there wasn’t really anything to return.
Penn State had already won those games on the field.
Those victories are most assuredly Penn State’s, its fans, students and alumni.
But even more so, they belong to the following 534 players and 20 full-time coaches who represented Penn State in that 14-year period.
That group is listed below and features every player listed on Penn State’s official rosters from that time, as gleaned from the school’s 1998-2006 media guides and its official online rosters for 2007-2011. (Not every player listed appeared in a game, but their contributions were myriad.)
Anthony Adams, Askari Adams, Tyler Ahrenhold, Chad Albright, Jay Alford, Jesse Alfreno, Anthony Alosi, Craig Ames, Adrian Amos, Dick Anderson, Lance Antolick, Mark Arcidiacono, Tim Argiradi, LaVar Arrington, Drew Astorino, Chris Auletta…
