The easy way to start this story is to say Eric Shrive already has made a difference at Penn State.  Of course, you'll respond that he hasn't played a down for the Nittany Lions. You might even point out that, in the grand scheme of a college football player's career, he hasn't even exhausted a single snap of his eligibility yet.

Both fair points.

UNIVERSITY PARK —  Scott Shirley spends much of his time on the road. If the former Penn State wide receiver and founder of Uplifting Athletes isn’t at a university trying to help launch another chapter of the non-profit organization that fights rare diseases with the popularity of college football, chances are he’s on the phone with members of an already existing chapter.
