Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford will spend one more season in Happy Valley.
The redshirt senior announced on social media Friday that he will not enter the 2022 NFL Draft.
“… I will be returning to Penn State to play one more season in the Blue & White,” he tweeted, in part. “I could not pass up the chance to be with this family and play the game I love again. The opportunity to play alongside my brother, Liam, and the rest of my brothers on the team made this decision easy.”
