Penn State Players Subject Of Successful Drug Search, According To Report

Two Penn State players, one current and one former, were involved in a police drug search that turned up paraphernalia, according to a report.

Two members of last year's Penn St. Nittany Lions football team had drugs seized from their home by campus police, the Daily Collgian reports. Wide receiver Devon Smith is also on this year's squad, while defensive end Jack Crawford is prepping for the NFL Draft. Neither was charged, but police reportedly "seized multiple blunts, a bottle of liquor, a grinder, a scale, a plastic bag with suspected marijuana and prescription drugs."

Smith finished third on the team with 402 yards receiving last year, and is in line to start with Derek Moye moving along. He's a rising senior. Crawford is expected to be picked in a middle round in April.

Penn State began spring practices Monday. So, neat! Some turmoil for Bill O’Brien! Right on time!
