We’re now a measly 65 days away from the triumphant return of Penn State football.
Because there’s no PSU player currently donning No. 65, today belongs to 2013 graduate Miles Dieffenbach.
Dieffenbach was a charismatic leader of the offensive line for the last three years of his career. The Pittsburgh native started every game at left guard in 2012 and 2013, and would have done the same in 2014 if not for a torn ACL during the spring heading into his redshirt senior season.
Earlier this year, Dieffenbach announced on his twitter account that he’s battling cancer.
