Sports Illustrated has released a special “Penn State” edition highlighting the 25 years the school has been a member of the B1G. And, of course, star running back Saquon Barkley is on the cover.
The issue has been released ahead of this weekend’s colossal match-up between No. 2 Penn State and No. 6 Ohio State.
Barkley is the frontrunner in the Heisman race and could essentially guarantee his place in the Heisman House with a strong showing against the Buckeyes.
