Great piece from the front page
One of Penn State’s top committed players has decided to return home.
Drew Shelton, from Downingtown, Pa., decided back in December that he wanted to transfer to powerhouse high school program IMG Academy down in Florida. He spent five months there, training with the likes of former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Tra Thomas, who coached the offensive line. However, after giving it some thought, he decided to return home recently and will finish out his high school career at Downingtown West.
“In recent months, there’s been a couple buddies of mine, a couple teammates of mine who have committed suicide, unfortunately,” Shelton said. “So, my family and I thought it would be best for me to come home and play this last semester here, be around the team, be around the guys. I really just want to be there for everyone as much as I can.”
