After leading last year's team in two different capacities, Daryll Clark and Sean Lee will share a more similar role this season, as both seniors have been elected team captains for the Penn State football team.

"It's a great honor," Lee said in a gopsusports.com release. "I'm honored to be following the great captains and leadership we have had in the past. Daryll and I both feel there is a very good leadership within the entire squad right now and that makes it easier for us to keep everyone moving in the same direction."

Last season, Lee was an honorary captain after he was forced to miss the entire campaign following a season-ending knee injury. Although he was not able to play, Lee was able to travel with the team and became another coach on the sideline.

For the 2008 season, Lee was a captain alongside John Gaines, Anthony Scirrotto, A.Q. Shipley and Derrick Williams.

Lee's role last year was a much different one than Clark's. Clark was the starter at quarterback and threw for 2,592 yards and 19 touchdowns while rushing for 10 more touchdowns as Penn State played in the Rose Bowl for the first time since after the 1994 season.

Clark enters his second and final season as the starting signal caller, and quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno considers Clark another coach on the field.

"Daryll, it's like Sanford and Son and he's Red Fox's character, constantly on the other guys' case and grumping at them and the whole nine yards, so that's kind of what we got," Paterno said after the Blue-White game. "So Daryll's been almost like a second coach to these guys and it's been really good."
