HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) The former Penn State president who was forced out as the school’s top administrator when Jerry Sandusky was arrested a decade ago will soon have to report to jail after a judge on Wednesday upheld a sentence issued four years ago.
The judge ordered Graham Spanier to begin serving at least two months at the county jail several miles from the Penn State campus on July 9 followed by two months of house arrest on electronic monitoring for a single misdemeanor conviction of endangering the welfare of children.
The Philadelphia Eagles originally
signed Thompkins as an undrafted free agent in 2019, but he was released following the end of training camp.
He was then drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 XFL Draft by the DC Defenders. He played in four games, totaling seven catches for 85 yards and one touchdown. Following his time in Washington, Thompkins
signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the beginning of last season before being released just one week later.
Nevertheless, the North Carolina native was one of Penn State’s most dynamic players over the course of his four seasons with the Nittany Lions. He finished his career averaging 10.2 yards per punt return with two touchdowns and 83 receptions for 1,245 yards, six touchdowns as a receiver.
