BSD Roundtable: Which Under-the-Radar Football Player Will Break into the Postseason Top Ten?

As you’ve likely noticed, we recently conducted a countdown of Penn State’s top 10 players heading into the 2018 season, based on staff voting. But what about the players who could make their way into the top 10 by the end of the season? To the roundtable we go!

I will pause for a second on my Justin Shorter crusade to highlight what an absolute freak Yetur Gross-Matos is. At 6-foot-5, 262 pounds, Gross-Matos blends tremendous size and length to go along with an elite athletic profile. The fact he broke into the defensive end rotation last year should tell you what the staff thinks of Gross-Matos -- there was no point in a redshirt year, because this kid will have the NFL calling sooner rather than later.
