Nearly three years after deciding to adopt, we welcomed Charlotte Ivory Rose Hockensmith into our family this weekend. Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this long journey. We are exhausted, but over the moon thrilled.

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

PERSONAL NEWS: We've made the big life decision to adopt a child, and my wife designed a T-shirt fundraiser to try and help us on the road ahead.

We would be so grateful if you'd consider donating or even just saying a little prayer. It all helps. ❤️

@Jagger712 Check with the committee -- and I'm sorry if this comes as bad news -- but I think that's what this already is.

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

@Jagger712 Your sense of humor is such a narrow but incredible niche, and I'm here for it. 🤣

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

@danieljtgallen Not like it’s nearly as fun or important, but I believe I have a credit in that 2004 Maryland media guide.

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

@Jagger712 This reference is amazingly obscure, and obscurely amazing.

@WPIALwref @PAPowerWrestle I think if you shout on the Internet long enough and loud enough, all problems disappear. So, please, keep doing the Lord's work on this one. Don't do anything crazy like think and implement creative solutions if you're that bothered by it. Just yell. Again and again and again.

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

@jcaakauff Thanks, buddy! Guess I'll be seeing you at a HS gym soon?

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

Who's got it better than the Hockensmiths? Nobody.

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

@jayemcee03 And you know the Daddest thing about it ... it's straight-up CLEARANCE 🔥

I hate to steal Audrey's 409 routine, but I did have this one: Penn State's 3rd down conversion rate at the time of Mike Yurcich's dismissal: .409.

[Audrey Snyder @audsnyder4]

Penn State averaged 108,409 fans in Beaver Stadium this season.

Not 108,410. Not 108, 408.

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

@Colinmcnamara05 Colin! Hey, I was hoping for a (hopefully) quick favor in a pinch. Would you mind DMing or emailing me? Thanks so much!

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

Covered a lot of ground on this one with @RossTuckerNFL.

Physical. Tough. High sideline IQ. @JoeHermitt.

I like to think Dante Cephas got the worse end of this end zone collision.

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

Took this more as the crowd's collective surprise the scrappy underdog won Penn State's tense summer-long QB competition.

[Audrey Snyder @audsnyder4]

Loud ovation for starting QB Drew Allar

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

@rakers_pa @djoneshoop @BobbyFlo7 Please tell me you listened to all 63 minutes and still weren’t sure. I don’t think either of us even remember what we said. 😂

Really wanted to share this photo from Easter from my wife @liz_hockensmith (along with our first photo as a family of four!). The image looks like our 10-year-old is running next to the 5-year-old version of herself.

[Dustin Hockensmith @dhockensmith]

Big congrats to Avery! Lot of upside still left for him after a really nice senior season.
