Happy for him. I believe he has his degree. He gets a great education with no debt, played a game he loved and walked away while being mostly healthy. An excellent outcome and best of luck Bryce.
Played better as the season went on when he got his chance. Hopefully it’s just that he’s tired of all the work it takes and the hitting and being hit.
Bruce stepped up and performed well when he was asked. A tip of my hat to you Bruce E. and best wishes. You are a Lion for life.
Does anyone know who the very large human being is in the picture ?

Been here 5 years, got his degree, slim NFL prospects, he’s just moving on with his life.
He was a valuable OL. Wish him the best.
Great education and no debt? Where did he go to school?
It says something that with him at RT and a true freshman at LT, PSU win last six games including the Rose Bowl!
Sometimes it becomes time to move along in life. OLs take a beating.
@Penn State Pigskin 2023 the huge guy is his father. Years ago on a trip to Iowa I was lucky enough to meet the family in an Iowa City restaurant. Also, luck would have it, they were staying at the same hotel as me. After the game, we spoke for a few hours in the hotel lobby. All I can say is, the Effners are a great and successful family. Very humble and love cJF. definitely makes penn staters proud.
Since that trip, we stayed in touch. They would stop at my tailgate (they tailgated close to me this year) and also I would always talk with them on road trips (I go to every game). Not sure if you recall, there were reports Bryce would not be available for this season. Let’s just say he did everything in his power to get back and was a very important, unsung cog this year. As you said a Lion for Life.
For the Glory!
