The Football Letter Podcast Special: Garrett Sickels and Jeff Hartings
Another great episode for you this week on our Football Letter Podcast, as we were pleased to be joined by two standout lettermen in Garrett Sickels and Jeff Hartings. Football Letter Editor Emeritus John Black also stopped by to look back at the series history between Penn State and Ohio State.
We talked to Garrett (0:56) about what it was like being a part of the Nittany Lions' upset over Ohio State in 2016, memories from that magical season, the lessons he learned as a student-athlete at Penn State, and what he's up to now professionally in Nashville as President of Construction at Creative Development Partners.

John Black stopped by (19:06) to look back at the series history between the Nittany Lions and Buckeyes, with a special focus on that upset at Beaver Stadium in 2016.

To wrap up the show, Jeff joined us (23:13) to discuss the togetherness of the offensive line unit for the 1994 season, his NFL career and finding his faith, coaching high school football, and his connections with fellow alumni.
