Penn State football sets busy weekend for NIL opportunities
Some of Penn State football’s most recognizable names are set for a big weekend both in State College and beyond. Along with a free youth football clinic on Saturday in Scranton, Pa., premier players of the program will also be in State College meeting fans over the weekend.
Announced on Wednesday, new Penn State collective Happy Valley United is partnering with Weis Markets for three meet-and-greets. They’ll take place on Saturday and Sunday at the three Weis Market locations in State College.
The first session is set for Saturday, July 22 at the Weis Market on Westerly Parkway. Linebacker Abdul Carter and receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith will be on hand from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. to meet with fans, take photos, and sign autographs.
The second session will follow shortly thereafter. From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Nittany Lions Caedan Wallace and Amin Vanover will take part at the Weis Market just off North Atherton in State College.
And, on Sunday afternoon, another group of Nittany Lions will be on hand at the Weis just off South Atherton in State College from noon until 3 p.m. The first wave will feature Curtis Jacobs and Kalen King from noon until 1:30 p.m. Then, a second wave will feature Keaton Ellis and Jaylen Reed from 1:30 p.m. until 3 p.m.
