The college football world knew him as the “Dean of Linebacker U,” the defensive coach who helped Penn State win two national championships. But Jerry Sandusky saw himself as a “Great Pretender.”
It was a name he adopted while performing in a band at his annual summer football camp for children.
“Pretending has always been a part of me,” Sandusky, now 67, wrote in his autobiography, “Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story,” published in 2000.
