Derek Dowrey stuck with Penn State when he had every reason possible to leave thrown at him by the NCAA. He stood by his commitment to Dear Old State, traveled north from Virginia to State College and redshirted during the 2012 season. In 2013, he began to see the field at defensive tackle in sub packages - goalline in particular. And now, as a redshirt soph, he finds himself on the other side of the ball, learning a new position, and fighting for playing time at guard. Give him an encouraging tweet @doubleDowrey.
