Catchin' up with 'Scirto

I caught up with former Penn State safety Anthony Scirrotto late this afternoon. He was out on the sea crabbing, so I didn't bug him. Twenty-five crabs later, I get a call back and we had a nice chat about him getting drafted by the Kansas City Royals as well as his plans this summer trying to latch on with the Carolina Panthers.

Scirrotto signed a 3-year deal worth more than $1 million plus a signing bonus with Carolina and will compare whatever deal the Royals throw him to make sure there are no conflicts with the one from the Panthers.

Talking with Anthony, he made it clear the Royals respect his decision to pursue football and understand he won't be trading in his cleats for spikes unless the football gig doesn't pan out.

Scirrotto finished up with OTAs last Friday and has some nice vacation time until training camp in late July, hence the crabbing.

He said those crabs have reservations with the grill in the next day or so.

Lucky man.

The Roster

Mug

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.

Mug

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.

Mug

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.
