Penn State football legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jack Ham is in stable condition following a medical emergency, according to a report from USA TODAY Sports on Saturday.

The 75-year-old former linebacker, who starred at Penn State from 1968 to 1970 before a 12-year NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, experienced the medical issue earlier this week. Details regarding the nature of the emergency were not immediately disclosed.

Ham, a six-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowl selection, won four Super Bowls with the Steelers during the 1970s dynasty. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990.

Penn State and Steelers officials have not yet released official statements. Further updates on Ham's condition are expected in the coming days.
