Captain(s) America!

The football team officially announced its captains today. For the first time since 1991, five players have been selected to lead the team.

All seniors, the offensive captains are center A.Q. Shipley and wide receiver Derrick Williams.

Defensive end Josh Gaines and safety Anthony Scirrotto will captain the defense.

And linebacker Sean Lee has been named an honorary captain after tearing his ACL during spring practice. Lee will redshirt this season and has the opportunity to become the seventh two-time captain in Penn State history.

The Roster

Travis Johnson Mug

Travis Johnson is a senior majoring in journalism and political science and a football reporter for the Collegian. He's previously covered the wrestling, baseball and women's golf teams. Travis loves to drive fast with the windows down and the rock 'n' roll blaring — even in the winter.

Josh Langenbacher has written for the Collegian since his junior year and covered the women's track and field team. He's hoping he doesn't have to rescue any colleagues from telephone booths in the HUB — or anywhere else, for that matter.

Andrew Wible Mug

Andrew Wible is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian. He has also covered the men's and women's basketball teams. A confused soul, he listens to rap, plays golf and hunts. And like any true Pennsylvanian, he treats the Monday after Thanksgiving as a national holiday.
