Meet Penn State quarterback Alex Manske and hear the story behind his journey from small-town Algona, Iowa, to Happy Valley.

Manske reflects on growing up competing with his brothers, learning to play quarterback from his older brother, getting his first Division I offer and developing a relationship with Matt Campbell that dates back to seventh grade. He also explains why following Campbell and the coaching staff to Penn State ultimately felt like a “no-brainer.”

Away from football, Manske reveals another side of his athletic ability — he’s a scratch golfer who says he fired a 63 at his home course — and talks about his relationship with fellow quarterback Rocco Becht, what motivates him every day and why he can’t wait to experience the Penn State fan base on game day.
