Man, why couldn't he had just accepted our offer instead of Walking On at Penn State?!

Well, reading his bio his entire family history is PSU, so..... I'm sure they're all very happy. Maybe we can get one of the Del kids who went up to PSU to play DL at UD next year.

There is an article today's Lancaster paper about Zug and his path to PSU and current success. They mention his UD option, but they don't mention that UD's offer was (only) a partial scholarship. If that offer had it been a full ride or if PSU didn't come thru with their late offer, he'd likely now be catching passes from Devlin in another uniform. He has very strong PSU family ties so getting him to Newark would have been a noteworthy coup for the UD recruiters.

...Connecticut recruited him, but didn't offer a scholarship. Delaware did. Penn State, low-profile for a long while, came in late and offered no full ride, but preferred walk-on status.

David is a Penn State alumnus. He and his family are long-time football season ticket holders. Graham's older brother, also David, played in the Blue Band. Younger sister Daneen is a Penn State field hockey player.

When Graham calls Penn State his "dream school," it almost sounds like an understatement.

Still, Delaware was offering more than Penn State was....
