Penn State commit wins Mr. PA Football Award
Penn State commit Daequan Hardy is bringing some hardware to State College with him.
Saturday night, Hardy was named the winner of the Big-School Mr. PA Football Award after an outstanding senior season. He helped guide his Penn Hills squad to a 5A state title in December.
Hardy was an all-conference selection at both defensive back and wide receiver this fall, making a strong impression across the state. His biggest performance of the season came in the state championship game, scoring four touchdowns in the victory, including a 100-yard pick-six.
In addition to Penn State, Hardy had offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska and others.
Hardy, a 5-foot-10, 160-pound athlete, is listed as a three-star cornerback out of Pittsburgh. He signed with the Nittany Lions on National Signing Day just over a week ago.
