As Grad said, good call Union.

He had been all over this one.

I for one thought we had a decent chance, after he attended pro day, but it looks like he was set on attending PSU.

Penn State: Last chance to impress for linebacker Colasanti
Sunday, August 29, 2010
By Ron Musselman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Chris Colasanti was one of only two true freshmen to see playing time for Penn State in 2007.

And everything seemed to be set up for him to be a starting linebacker for the Nittany Lions the following season.

But Colasanti, a two-time all-state player from Michigan, lost out to former walk-on Josh Hull, who went on to become a two-year starter and a seventh-round pick of the St. Louis Rams in the NFL draft in April.

With Hull gone, Colasanti has one last chance to show what he can do in his senior season.

His career totals -- 37 tackles, one tackle for loss and one sack -- are not exactly what the man in the middle had in mind when he arrived at Penn State.

"I wouldn't say [my career] has been disappointing, but this all of a sudden is my last year and I'm like, 'Wow, where did it all go so fast?' " Colasanti said. "I've been waiting three years for this opportunity and I'm ready to take advantage of it."
