HOTOS: Penn State players Olu Fashanu, Chop Robinson, Curtis Jacobs and more hold Lions Legacy NIL event in their native Maryland

Invading Maryland for many of its top football prospects has paid on-field dividends for Penn State, as projected 2023 season standouts Olu Fashanu, Chop Robinson, Curtis Jacobs and more Nittany Lions all hail from the state. Saturday, the PSU football NIL Collective Lions Legacy Club leveraged those connections in a different way with a fundraiser in Annapolis.

The stars mentioned above were joined by fellow Nittany Lions and Maryland products Alex Birchmeier, Dvon Ellies, Coziah Izzard, Landon Tengwall and Zakee Wheatley for a four-hour meet-and-greet at the Doubletree by Hilton in Annapolis. A reported turnout of about 100 people visited during the course of the evening, all plunking down $100 to attend.

Our Harvey Levine was in the house for part of the night, as well, and took photographs of the Penn State players signing autographs, posing for selfies and just chatting with some of their biggest fans from Maryland. You can see the top images below.

Lions Legacy Club is a collective focused on Penn State football. Former Nittany Lion All-American linebacker Mike Mauti is a letterman founder of the group.
