QUOTING COACH JEPSON
"This will be Jason's freshman year, competitively. He has been up and down, injury-wise, and hasn't had real consistent training since he has been here at Penn State. He has proven in his high school years that he is an outstanding competitor. We just need him to be able to train, so he can compete at the highest level. His best events are floor, pommel horse, rings, and parallel bars and I think his high bar will develop. His pommel horse will be a huge benefit to us this year."
