per the AP:
The story of Sean Clifford and Tanner Morgan’s began on a seventh-grade football field.
Their final scheduled matchup is Oct. 22 when Minnesota visits Penn State.
In between, the two quarterbacks followed one another’s journeys through high school and the recruiting process, the natural ups and downs of college football and the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, they’re embarking on one final destination together — a sixth and final college season.
“To think that both of us, with our old asses, are still playing on the biggest stages, it’s very cool because that friendship is so deep,” Clifford said Wednesday at the Big Ten media day. “We’re still playing at the highest level and now getting to play Tanner this year, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Both enter the fall with plenty of unfulfilled goals.
Clifford begins his fourth season as Penn State’s starter at age 24, as the new face of a national movement to help college football players and as the CEO of his own NIL company. But he hasn’t led the Nittany Lions to the East Division crown or played in the College Football Playoff — yet.
Morgan, slightly younger at age 23, has two nine-win seasons on his resume and took the Golden Gophers to three of the school’s 22 bowl bids. Morgan and three other super seniors — the self-described Encore Four — are chasing their first West Division crown and coach P.J. Fleck believes Morgan’s experience can help his team finally pull it off.
