Penn State players facing discipline in egg-throwing incident: Report

Four Penn State football players were cited after what officials call an egg-throwing incident at a campus building the night before Halloween.

Since three of the Nittany Lions players are from New Jersey, we'll just call it "Mischief Night."




Team officials confirmed Saturday that center Wendy Laurent, defensive end Garrett Sickels, tight end Brent Wilkerson and reserve safety Anthony Smith were involved in Thursday night's incident at Beaver Hall, according to Pennlive.com.

According to Centre County court records, all were issued non-traffic criminal mischief citations.

Coach James Franklin said after Saturday's game against Maryland that the situation would be addressed with the administration, the players and their families.

He said egg-throwing was "far down the totem pole" among the problems in college athletics, but "It still needs to be fixed. I can guarantee it will be."

Laurent, Wilkerson and Sickles all played in Saturday's 20-19 loss to Maryland. Laurent made his first career start because of injuries to the offensive line.
