Yetur Gross-Matos, KJ Hamler To Participate In 2020 State Farm All-Star Football Challenge

Penn State football stars Yetur Gross-Matos and KJ Hamler will take part in the 22nd annual State Farm All-Star Football Challenge, the team announced Saturday evening.

The challenge features 24 of college football’s brightest stars who will be split up into six teams based on their conference. There are four representatives from each conference — the Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC — and a “Wild Card” team made up of players who aren’t from Power Five programs.

Each player will compete in an individual event before each team competes against one another in a full-scale competition. Whichever team has the lowest total time at the end of the timed competitions will take home the gold.

Last season, Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley and cornerback Amani Oruwariye represented the Nittany Lions at the event. McSorley wound up winning the quarterback accuracy competition, but the Big Ten narrowly lost the overall contest against the SEC.

The event will kick off at 9 p.m. on Friday, January 31 at AT&T Stadium — familiar territory for these two, who led the Nittany Lions to a 53-39 Cotton Bowl victory on the same turf a few weeks ago.
