UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State free safety Nick Sukay will miss the rest of the season after suffering a complete tear of his pectoral muscle Saturday against Illinois, a source said today.
Sukay, a redshirt junior from Greensburg Central Catholic, was injured on the opening kickoff. He continued to try to play before eventually retiring to the sideline.
Sukay, who had started 19 games the past two years, had 29 tackles this season, a team-high three interceptions, three passes broken up and a forced fumble.
Sukay was scheduled to have surgery today.
