Here’s why Penn State LB Cam Brown is ready to break out in 2018

It’s impossible to miss Cam Brown.

During Penn State’s media day earlier this month, the junior milled around the home-side bench — nearly a full head taller than some of his linebacker teammates, such as 5-foot-9 walk-on Frank Di Leo.

At 6-foot-5 and 223 pounds, Brown is an imposing presence. He’s the second-tallest linebacker in the Big Ten — behind Wisconsin’s 6-foot-6 reserve Izayah Green-May — and he’s the tallest linebacker that Penn State’s had in at least the last decade.

His teammates believe he’s about to be noticed in a big way this season.
