Hamilton enjoying the ride as senior receiver seeks high note

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- There's something different about DaeSean Hamilton, and the change started the day after the Rose Bowl.

"He’s kind of working with a mission right now," quarterback Trace McSorley said. "You see him and he’s got a look in his eyes that’s been different from the last couple years."

Hamilton, long praised by teammates and coaches as one of the top workers on the team and one of their best performers in the weight room, is taking that dedication up a notch. It's the last go around for the senior wide receiver, and after a career that started in Dublin, Ireland with an 11-catch, 165- yard performance in the Croke Park Classic, last year's 34-catch performance has Hamilton looking to rebound and cap his college career on a high note.
