DANIA BEACH, Fla. — When Penn State moved a different linebacker into what had been Tyler Elsdon's starting spot, Elsdon made a choice that doesn't really fit into the storyline college football has been selling these days. He stayed right where he was. In an era in which NIL money, playing time and the promise of the transfer portal are a phone call away, Penn State's fifth-year senior decided to stay because he feels loyal to his teammates and loves his school. Elsdon and the Nittany Lions take on Notre Dame on Thursday in the College Football Playoff semifinals.
