UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State is known for its dedicated fans, for football there's the S-Zone, hockey has the Roar Zone, and now soccer has its own staple - the Sons of Jeffrey.
Created last season, the Sons of Jeffrey are proving that Penn State stands behind its men's soccer team. These organized soccer fans stand out simply for their love of Nittany Lion soccer and dedication to the team whether or not the team wins that night.
What started off as a few students attending matches together is now a full-blown club and almost every match fills up the entire student section at Jeffrey.
"For a lot of the members, the inspiration for the club came from our members general interest in soccer and our desire to keep that interest going while at college, " said Sons of Jeffrey leader Adriana Lacy.
"Last year a bunch of us would go to the soccer matches and saw that they needed a bigger student fan base so we wanted to be that for the guys. It's crazy how much we've grown so much in size, starting from just a few fans we now have an entire club with flags and drums ready for every match," Lacy continued.
