Dallastown grad Kline excels in classroom

Posted by Steve Heiser on June 13, 2012

Dallastown High School graduate Ben Kline is apparently doing more than

studying his playbook at Penn State.

Kline, a redshirt freshman linebacker for the Nittany Lions, earned a 3.94

grade-point average during the spring semester and brought a 3.92 cumulative

GPA in the summer academic sessions. He was named to the school’s Dean’s List

and is listed on PSU’s second team in a recently released depth chart.

Overall, the Penn State football team had 34 squad members earning at least

a 3.0 GPA, while 15 earned Dean’s List recognition by posting a 3.5 GPA or higher

this past semester. That brings to 37 the total number of PSU football

student-athletes with a cumulative 3.0 or higher GPA through the spring

semester. Thirty-six of the 37 return for the 2012 fall semester.
