Navorro Bowman to honor #11 LaVar Arrington

As we noted earlier, ESPN.com's Big Ten beat reporter Adam Rittenberg is in State College today. He caught up with Navorro Bowman, who shed some light on his switch from #18 to #11, which was made famous by Penn State great LaVar Arrington...

We were already friends, and he called and asked me, "What do you think about wearing 11?" I was like, "I wouldn't mind it." Him being able to see his number on somebody else at this university is really what he wanted and I didn't have a problem doing it for him. LaVar's been a guy who's had the answers to my questions. I couldn't ask for a better friend.

Hopefully, after everything is done with, I'll be able to say thank you for him letting me wear his number. It's an honor to me, just as it's a happy moment for him.
