The Makings of Mac O’Keefe, Division I Goals King
Fri Apr 23 2021 | Nelson Rice | College
Mac O’Keefe needed four minutes and 19 seconds to put the NCAA career goals record behind him — at least on the stat sheet and in the record book.
As the wave of congratulations poured in on social media and onto his cellphone that ran out of battery back inside Penn State’s locker room, O’Keefe remained focused on the task on the field. The Nittany Lions still trailed by one. With 3:02 remaining in the second quarter of a Big Ten battle against Michigan, O’Keefe received a pass from TJ Malone at the top of the key and unleashed his trademark underhand stroke.
