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.

Matt Fortuna is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Wayne Staats is a junior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.
