The People of Penn State

Episode 79 — From Penn State To The Premier Lacrosse League, With TJ Malone and Jack Posey

Penn State Alumni Association Season 5 Episode 79

Two episodes in one day? That's crazy talk! 🤯

We’re kicking off Season Five of The People of Penn State with another fantastic conversation—this time featuring former Penn State men’s lacrosse stars TJ Malone ('23, '23 MBAN, '24 MBA) and Jack Posey ('23, '24 MBA)! 🥍

The former teammates and now lifelong friends take us through their journeys to Happy Valley, sharing memories from the recruiting process that brought them to Penn State and the bond they built along the way. They open up about overcoming adversity—TJ’s relentless mindset in battling career-threatening injuries and how he became an inspiration for Jack as he faced his own injury challenge.

Plus, they take us inside the Nittany Lions’ unforgettable Final Four run in 2023 and reflect on the transition to the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL), where they both found success in their rookie seasons, including TJ being named the 2024 Rookie of the Year.
