Penn State running back Saquon Barkley has gained national prestige as a favorite prospect for the Heisman trophy. But to the Lehigh Valley, he's a local hero, known to the community as a humble and selfless teammate from Whitehall-Coplay. Host Kayla Dwyer speaks with The Morning Call's Penn State reporter, Mark Wogenrich, and Barkley's former high school football coach, Brian Gilbert, about Barkley's success and his roots.
Music in this episode was written and produced by Matt Freiler, a junior at Penn State.
