Collin Wagner continues to work hard in his bid to join the list of local kickers that have made an impact for the Nittany Lions. Players such as Travis Forney, David Royer, David Kimball and 2006 Pro Bowl kicker Robbie Gould are among the local products that have excelled during the Joe Paterno era. An all-state selection at State College Area HS, Wagner's competitive presence on the practice field likely was one of the reasons for the improvement demonstrated by placekicker Kevin Kelly last season. Wagner is one of three returning Nittany Lions that played at State College Area.
