Chris Raymond-Men in White: The Gutsy, Against-All-Odds Return of Penn State Football

  • Summary

  • For decades, Penn State football stood for greatness, on the field and off. Under legendary Coach Joe Paterno, the program was known for doing things the right way – or, as Paterno dubbed it, “success with honor.” But on Saturday, November 5, 2011, everything the team stood for came crashing down. The horrific crimes of former assistant Jerry Sandusky are now well known, but what’s often overlooked is the heroism of the young men who rallied to raise Penn State football from the ashes – guys like Christian Hackenberg, John Urschel, Saquon Barkley, Carl Nassib, and Trace McSorley. Acclaimed writer Chris Raymond paints an amazing, behind-the-scenes portrait of their inspiring journey, with his new book, MEN IN WHITE: The Gutsy, Against-All-Odds Return of Penn State Football (St. Martin’s Press). About the Author: Chris Raymond has covered sports, politics, and pop culture for 30 years. In addition to various longtime roles at ESPN, Raymond has also been on staff and written and edited for Details, Esquire, and GQ. He lives with his wife and two sons in Westchester County, New York. #pennstatefootball #pennstatenittanylions #pennstate
