Overheard On Twitter: James Franklin Invites Former Vanderbilt Quarterback and Bachelorette Winner Jordan Rodgers To Penn State
Bachelorette fans have something to be excited about this fall. During a press conference at Beaver Stadium for Football Media Day, James Franklin invited Bachelorette winner Jordan Rodgers to Happy Valley for the home opener against Kent State on September 3.
Before his stint in reality TV, Rodgers played quarterback during Franklin’s era at Vanderbilt. During the press conference, Franklin stated that he watched the show with his wife to support his former QB. In a twitter interaction, Jordan accepted the invitation, citing one of the core values Franklin taught him — “compete in everything you do.”
