Matt McGloin, senior quarterback from Penn State, accepts the Brandon Burlsworth Trophy on Monday during a ceremony at the Northwest Arkansas Convention Center in Springdale. The other finalists were David Quessenberry, senior tackle at San Jose State University, and Jordan Kovacs, senior safety at the University of Michigan. The trophy is awarded annually to the top walk-on student athlete in Division I football.
Matt McGloin admitted he never considered transferring from Penn State following the child sexual abuse scandal that put the future of one of college football’s most storied programs in jeopardy.
