Players' Corner: Matt Stankiewitch, Freshman, OG

What's your favorite song?

My favorite song is The Outfield's "Your Love." It's a good catchy song; I think it's an 80s song. I like all types of music, but I prefer to listen to classic rock.

Favorite book?

My favorite book, we just read it in school, is The Kite Runner. It's a fantastic book, and it really shows how society is over at other countries. I didn't know how it was over in Iraq and Iran and Afghanistan until I read this book.

What's the one thing that stands out to you when it comes to Beaver Stadium?

The atmosphere -- especially the student section.

Favorite food?

My favorite is steak, some good steak on the grill. Homecooked or cookie-cutter or at a restaurant -- anything that's medium rare.

What's the last movie you saw?

Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon. I give it a thumbs up. What made it good was I thought it was exciting -- there was unexpected excitement.

What type of video games are you into?

I have an Xbox 360, and my favorite game is Gears of War. But, right now, my brother and I are playing Call of Duty 4. I'm better with those types of games -- the [football players] are gonna be better than me at NCAA football, although I like those games, too.

Favorite flavor of Creamery ice cream?

Chocolate. The ice cream at Penn State is fantastic. The ice cream is untouchable at Penn State.

What do you like most about football?

I really like working out and lifting weights. I like everything about football. It comes easy for me to like football.

So, what do you plan on doing when you get here for the Blue-White game?

The first thing we do is we always go to practice or football. I guess we're going to the [Lasch Football] Building first, and we'll do something with the football team. Then, after practice, we got a place to eat in town.
