"I don't really notice it too much anymore," Manske told the York Daily Record in August. "When I look at it, though, I just think of it was tough going through it, but I'm just thankful (doctors were) able to find it. I'm thankful for Penn State to be able to do the testing. If I didn't find it, you never know what could’ve happened.” Read More - orangebowl.org/penn-states-m… @PennStateFball @AlexManske4
