Former Penn State basketball player John Harrar invited to Eagles minicamp as a tight end

PHILADELPHIA — John Harrar recently completed a prolific basketball career at Penn State. With graduation looming, he is attempting a drastic career change.

Harrar is attending rookie minicamp this weekend with the Eagles. The 6-foot-9, 240-pounder is attempting to earn a roster spot as a tight end. The 22-year-old Harrar is one of 19 tryout players to receive invites to minicamp.

Harrar grew up in Wallingford and attended Strath Haven High School. He didn’t play competitive football until his junior year, but he wound up being an impact player at Strath Haven. Harrar initially committed to play college football at Army before he reconsidered and accepted a tryout offer to play basketball at Penn State under then-coach Pat Chambers.
