Reps on the Rise: Talor Battle & Jack Crawford

July 13, 2009

Talor Battle continues to make us look good for featuring him in our Nov/Dec 2008 issue. The Nittany Lion point guard (pictured here) followed up his terrific sophomore season by leading the U.S. team in scoring at the World University Games last week in Serbia, where the Americans earned a bronze medal. Here’s hoping Jack Crawford treats us just as well. The British-born defensive end and sophomore-to-be on the Penn State football team is the “Lead Athlete” in our current (July/Aug) issue, and we’re not the only ones picking him for stardom in the near future. The Altoona Mirror ran a lengthy profile of Crawford on Sunday, coinciding with the Nittany Lions’ annual Lift for Life charity event, which raised more than $81,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association.
