Penn State menโ€™s basketball power forward John Harrar has been invited to a NFL rookie minicamp by the Philadelphia Eagles according to his agent Blake Fromang.

Harrar didnโ€™t play football for Penn State this past season, much to the disappointment of head coach James Franklin who said that he shouldโ€™ve played football in a text message to Harrarโ€™s agent. He did play football in high school though as a tight end and did seek scholarship offers for football in addition to basketball.

Harrar was an equally rated two-star recruit for footballย as he was for basketballย by 247Sports. The 6-foot-9, 240-pound athlete came from Strath Haven High School in Wallingford, Pennsylvania. Wallingford is only 31 minutes outside of Philadelphia, so heโ€™d be playing for his hometown team if he were to make the cut.

While playing basketball this past season, Harrar averaged a double-double with 10.6 points per game and 10.3 rebounds per game. Penn State finished this past season 14-17 overall and 7-13 in the Big Ten.

Over his career, Harrar also holds a few program records including most games played (146) and ย most career rebounds for a Penn State player in the Big 10 tournament (74). Heโ€™s also one of just six players in program history to score over 800 points and grab over 800 rebounds.

Obviously, Harrarโ€™s Penn State career is done but he spoke to great lengths about seeing future success for the historically subpar program.
