Former Penn State football players Matt McGloin, Carl Nassib and Brandon Short elected to Penn State's Board of Trustees.
Three former Penn State football players swept the election for alumni seats on the university's Board of Trustees, with two becoming first-time board members. Carl Nassib , a Penn State All-America defensive end, and quarterback Matt McGloin joined All-America linebacker Brandon Short in winning the 2024 alumni trustees election.
Nassib and Short, who has been a Penn State trustee since 2018, ran together on a three-person bloc with trustee Steven Wagman, who was not re-elected. Nassib, a former Penn State walk-on football player who built himself into an All-American, built his candidacy on four criteria.
McGloin, who like Nassib ran for the first time, played quarterback for Penn State during the NCAA sanctions period. He played for both Joe Paterno and Bill O'Brien, becoming the first-time head coach's first starting quarterback in 2012. McGloin ran with trustee Alvin de Levie, a lawyer who has been on Penn State's board since 2021.
"Penn State gave me an opportunity that no one else would — to further my academic and athletic career. This is now my opportunity to give back to a university that has given me so much. I will oppose tuition increases, be a resource to help our Commonwealth Campuses, and fight to restore the legacy of Joe and Sue Paterno by naming our field at Beaver Stadium 'Paterno Field.' I am committed to serving the alumni on the Board of Trustees with integrity, loyalty, and good character.
