today, I proudly rise to honor former Penn State football player and Academic All-Big Ten honoree, Jonathan Nabavi, as he takes his next steps in his professional career. As the son of Rosemary Nabavi and Dr. Abbey Nabavi, Jonathan spent his childhood growing up in beautiful State College, Pennsylvania, watching Penn State football games and learning the game. He didn't have to travel too far as he went on to play for the Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium and graduated from Penn State in 2004. He then attended the George Washington University Law School, where he earned his degree and later developed a career here on Capitol Hill. Jonathan's passion for one of America's most popular sports carried into his professional life, supporting our largest sport, football in the NFL. As Jonathan takes the next steps in his career, I wish him; his wife, Catherine; their two beautiful daughters, Layla and Eloise, the best of luck in the next chapter of his incredible career. We are Penn State.
