It's safe to say that these guys are upholding the student-athlete title:
Penn State kick snapper Andrew Pitz, center Stefen Wisniewski and punter Jeremy Boone all earned 4.0 grade point averages for the spring semester. Wisniewski is a student in the Schreyer Honors College.
Kicker Kevin Kelly, who graduated in May, also earned a 4.0.
Defensive end Kevion Latham and linebacker Nate Stupar also did quite well in the classroom, both posting 3.85 GPAs.
And consider that Penn State's 78 percent graduation success rate was No. 2 in the nation among teams ranked in the final 2008 Associated Press poll, easily above the national average of 67 percent. Texas Tech (79 percent) was the only team with a higher GSR.
