Kevin Cousins is the fourth former standout from Huguenot HS in Richmond, Va. to suit up for the Nittany Lions in the past decade. He joins fullback Marcus McFee, linebacker Eric Sturdifen and wideout Bruce Branch as Huguenot alumni who have matriculated to Penn State in recent years. A wide receiver, Cousins is working hard to return to the field after suffering a knee injury during 2007 winter conditioning that kept him out of spring practice, followed by another nagging injury during the season. A talented athlete, Cousins made good progress during spring drills and will look to battle Brett Brackett for the top reserve spot behind returning senior starter Deon Butler at one of the wideout spots. Cousins is one of five returning Nittany Lions from Virginia.
