He is most certainly in better physical shape than I.

This was a headline on espn.com a few minutes ago.

We'll see after he plays in his first game!

Just curious, anyone know why he is LaVar Arrington II and not LaVar Arrington Jr. ?

He’s planning on majoring in mathematics.

As mentioned in another thread, II looks like 11

I have wondered whether dad chose that because it also looks like #11

Ah ha ha. Never thought of that. That makes some sense, thanks for the reply.

Me either. Well, you did have the presence of mind to ask the question.

Typically, Jr is used for someone who is named after his father of the same name. When the father has a different name and the person is named after his grandfather of the same name, then II is used.

Personal foul Penn State. Roughing the punter.

SUCH A GREAT VIDEO (Link is below) posted with both Lavar's and all who wore the double sticks before Lavar II congratulating him. Done to the Lion King and Simba theme.

Yes, but Lavar isn't a junior (or at least I have never seen him referred to as Lavar Arrington Jr.), So that is why I was curious.

Dear media, let this kid play football and don't ask him dumb questions that would put pressure on him to perform like his father. Sincerely, PSU fans.

Because that is our job.

Dear PSU fans, Let this kid be himself. He’s not his father and he shouldn’t have those expectations put on him. He is his own person and player.

If Lavar pere were junior then his son would be III.

 

[Thorndike2021]

PSU fans? Not us posting 'stick-ville' commitment vids.

I'm stoked about this kid's potential. He needs about a year and a half in the weight room. He's already got the 'want to' and the speed. Now develop that body into a real D1 LB.

You have to earn the sticks.
