Hall of Fame
Ben Scharsu
- Induction:
- 1988
One of the most familiar faces to ever aid in Youngstown State University athletics, Ben Scharsu was recognizable as a man who not only aided the Penguins with their equipment (he was one of the main suppliers of athletic equipment to not only the university but area schools as well through his local sporting goods store), but was known to help recruit any athlete for any sport for the Penguins. His love for the community and the university as well was evident in his ardent support of all of the university’s athletic teams. An award was named in his honor as well, and goes to the outstanding athlete each year who exemplifies quality work in the classroom. It is known as the “Ben Scharsu Award.”
