It wasn't so long ago that UAlbany had the son of former NFL quarterback Vinny Testaverde playing for the Great Danes. Now, it appears the son of another ex-NFL QB is considering Albany.
Cole Pennington made a recruiting visit to Albany on Friday. He had followed the footsteps of his father, Chad, who starred for Marshall in the late 90's before being drafted by the Jets in 2000. Cole played three seasons for the Thundering Herd, but as a backup quarterback. Coincidentally, the elder Pennington would succeed Testaverde as the Jets' QB.
Stay tuned.
================================================
Siena opened its MAAC schedule, and with it, a 10 game slate of broadcasts on WNYA, with a double overtime thriller, defeating Manhattan, 103-95, before nearly 5000 fans at MVP Arena. Justice Shoats & Major Freeman led 5 Saints in double figures with 24 points each. Peter Carey added 21, and Gavin Doty finished with 19. Marcus Jackson (Albany Academy/UAlbany) chipped in with 10, while Brendan Coyle (Niskayuna) had 5.
The Saints will stay in town and host MAAC nemesis Iona tomorrow at 2 pm (WNYA, JAMZ 96.3).
===================================================
In between Siena games, the Albany FireWolves will host Las Vegas in National Lacrosse League action tonight at 7 (WNYA, ESPN+). Vegas coach Shawn Williams will see a familiar face on the Albany side in the form of his son, Dyson, a rookie with the 'Wolves. The teams are also raising money for The Hospital For Sick Children in Toronto, and Albany's Melodies Center for Blood & Cancer Disorders at Albany Medical Center, to help Dyson's brother, Tucker, who died 2 1/2 weeks ago after a bout with Burkitt lymphoma.
