The Student Homecoming Court, along with the University and Alumni Courts, was announced a few weeks ago during the annual court crash. These 10 students, all in their final year at Penn State, were selected for their allegiance to the university and its glory through their involvement on campus.

The 10 individuals below join a prestigious lineage of alumni who previously served Penn State and its honor. You can vote for Homecoming king and queen here, and the winners will be announced Saturday during the game against Maryland. Without further ado, meet the Student Homecoming Court before you see it rolling in style during the parade tomorrow.
