Vuong is the Full Package

State College, Pa., native Vinh Vuong not only excels on the football field, but in the classroom and community as well. He is the complete package for a program looking for a high talent, high character young man and is hearing from a group of programs.

Vinh Vuong, a 6-foot-2, 280-pound athlete that could play either nose tackle or on the interior offensive line at the collegiate level has yet to earn his first scholarship, but he hopes that camp visits this summer will cure that problem.

“I’m getting ready for an awards ceremony right now,” Vuong said. “I’m receiving recognition for outstanding achievement by an underclassman in the classroom. That’s why academics are so important to me when picking a college because if football doesn’t go well I have a backup and if it does go well, you have both.”

Vuong already runs a Charity Foundation that teaches people about different charity foundations and hosts events, something that he is also getting an award for, although the award brings much less joy then that actual work for Vuong.

“I’ve been getting a lot of interest from schools lately from schools like Villanova, Massachusetts, Syracuse, Virginia and also attended the Blue and White game at Penn State.”

“The spring game was awesome and Penn State is just downright awesome,” Vuong explained. “I stepped on that field and I was like, wow…I just have to be here. There’s something about Penn State that makes me want to go there a lot. I love the facilities, the coaches, everything. I talked to a few of the coaches while I was there and they told me to get to camp this summer and they’d be keeping an eye on me.”
