Cabinda Right at Home in the Middle of the Defense

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Nittany Lion linebacker Jason Cabinda is not shy when it comes to facing a challenge head on.

The true sophomore was thrust into the role of being the focal point of calling the defense on the field at the middle linebacker position when Nyeem Wartman left the season-opener at Temple.

The responsibility that goes with playing the "Mike" spot is not an easy task for a senior like Mike Hull, who carried the torch in 2014, let alone a young player like Cabinda.

But you wouldn't know it watching the New Jersey native play.
