After weeks of fan voting, you all have brought the field down to the final two in our bracket to determine the greatest Penn State athlete of all time. We have received more than 3,000 votes and we need your help one more time. The winner will be announced next week.
A four-year starter and arguably the best player in Penn State women’s volleyball history, Micha Hancock has been voted by the fans as a finalist for Penn State’s all-time greatest athlete.
As a freshman, she earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year, starting 32 of 33 matches and set a program single-season record in aces with 91. She followed up that year by taking AVCA First Team All-American honors as well as Big Ten Setter of the Year in 2012.
In her junior year, Hancock took the NCAA tournament Most Outstanding Player honors. She also became the Penn State career leader in aces with 254, a number to which she added in 2014.
As a senior, in addition to being an All-American again, Hancock was named the AVCA National Player of the Year and capped off her outstanding career with a national championship.
As Penn State’s only Heisman Trophy winner, John Cappelletti has earned his fan votes as a finalist for Penn State’s all-time greatest athlete.
The running back, who took home college football’s greatest honor in 1973, compiled an outstanding career as a Nittany Lion.
His 1,522 yards and 17 touchdowns in 1973 led the Lions to a 12-0 season and a No. 5 ranking in the polls. He also took home the Maxwell Trophy among other awards that season. His 2,649 rushing yards through just two seasons have him at No. 9 on Penn State’s all-time rushing yardage list.
Cappelletti also had 30 total touchdowns in his career and played 10 seasons in the NFL after leaving Penn State.
He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1993.
