Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin was treated and released from Mount Nittany Medical Center on Saturday after he was involved in a fight with a teammate, university officials reported in a news release.

According to the release, McGloin and Curtis Drake, a wide receiver, got into a fight after practice Saturday afternoon at the Lasch Building. Campus police responded.

McGloin’s father, Paul, told the Patriot-News of Harrisburg and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that his son suffered a seizure and a possible concussion but was back at his campus apartment.

The news release doesn’t indicate which player started the fight, and university spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said it’s not immediately known how the fight would affect McGloin’s or Drake’s playing status in the Ticket City Bowl against Houston in Dallas on Jan. 2.

Media day for the bowl game is Monday.

Police and Penn State’s Office of Student Conduct will investigate the incident and report results “as they would for any other student involved in an incident on campus,” Mountz said in a statement.
