Five former Penn State football stars have been named among the greatest college football players.
The Sporting News released a College Football All-America Teams by Decades listing this week as the Nittany Lions open fall camp in preparation for the 2026 season.
The Lions who made the cut: Tight end Ted Kwalick (1960s), linebacker Shane Conlan (1980s), offensive lineman Sean Farrell (1980s), linebacker LaVar Arrington (1990s) and running back Saquon Barkley (2010s).
Kwalick, Conlan and Arrington are college football hall of famers. All were first-team All-Americans during their careers.
Of course, the piece does not include the 1950s, which featured PSU hall of fame quarterback Richie Lucas and superstar running back Lenny Moore, who Joe Paterno called the greatest player he ever coached.
