Daily News | In his first season at Penn State, Downingtown High product Drew Shelton is ‘just having fun’
Well, here, with Penn State ahead of its appearance in Monday’s Rose Bowl, yes, but the 6-foot-5 offensive lineman wasn’t supposed to be playing the role he’s playing now.
“It all comes back to it’s just football,” Shelton said. “Whether it’s the Rose Bowl or a high school game back at Downingtown West, at the end of the day, it’s just football. Just going out there and competing every day.” Penn State head coach James Franklin wasn’t expecting Shelton to play this role, but he’s happy with how it worked out.“We’re proud of him,” Franklin said. “Obviously when you get in a position where you lose a projected first-round draft choice in Olu Fashanu and have a guy like Drew Shelton be able to step into that role and play well, depth is important, and I think that’s a great example.”
Older Nittany Lion teammates have taken note of the freshman’s abilities. Penn State center Juice Scruggs has been impressed by Shelton’s knowledge and maturity, even as a true freshman.
