As Penn State prepared to say goodbye to both starting tackles in 2023, they turned to the portal to find someone who could fill the shoes of Olu Fashanu and Caedan Wallace. Fortunately, they found a former five-star prospect ready to come home to Pennsylvania. Nolan Rucci spent the last three seasons at Wisconsin before deciding a change of scenery was needed. Now he will look to crack the starting lineup for the Nittany Lions when they take the field against West Virginia for Big Noon Saturday on Aug. 31. And if Drew Allar is seeking a new red zone target, Rucci does have a game-winning touchdown catch under his belt: https://www.youtube.com/embed/C3STwWSNIgY?rel=0
Some of you may also remember Nolan’s father, Todd Rucci, from his time in Happy Valley. Todd was a standout offensive lineman who was a second round pick by New England in 1993, where he started 75 games over his eight-year career. Only 72 more days until Penn State Football!!
