Penn State and Pittsburgh Steelers legend Jack Ham is in stable condition after suffering a medical emergency.
The 77-year-old was hospitalized on Saturday in Seattle, where the Nittany Lions were taking on the Washington Huskies. Ham, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has been part of Penn State’s radio broadcast team for more than 25 years.
Nittany Lions head coach Matt Campbell said it was a “gut-wrenching day for Penn State football,” but also praised what he called a “heroic effort” by Ham’s broadcast partner Steve Jones to assist him.
