Penn State radio analyst Jack Ham is "doing really well" and remains in stable condition after suffering a medical emergency Saturday before the Nittany Lions' game against Washington in Seattle.
Penn State coach Matt Campbell said Tuesday that he spoke with the 77-year-old Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Monday and early Tuesday. Ham is recovering at the University of Washington Medical Center after being transported Saturday morning.
"Number one, he's talking, he's in stable condition," Campbell said Tuesday. "He's still out at Washington. We got to see him after the game, which is awesome. He was doing really well. Again, that is great progress. We hopefully get him back here sooner than later."
After Saturday's game, Campbell thanked Washington officials and said play-by-play announcer Steve Jones, Ham's longtime radio broadcast partner, made a "heroic effort" in assisting Ham.
Ham was a six-time All-Pro selection with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with whom he won four Super Bowl championships and made eight Pro Bowl appearances. He earned All-America honors at Penn State in 1970.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988 and the College Football Hall of Fame two years later. Ham has been the radio analyst for his alma mater since 2000.
