Time to go back a few years to one of the most storied members of Linebacker U – Paul Posluszny.
Posluszny, from Beaver County, PA, helped lead his Hopewell High School football team to the WPIAL championship and AAA State Championship in the early 2000s. His next step was playing for Joe Paterno starting in 2003. As a true freshman, he had his breakout game in one of the worst losses to Michigan State during one of the worst Penn State seasons – racking up 8 tackles and .5 TFLs against the Spartans. During his 2003 season, again, as a true freshman, Posluszny had 36 total tackles and was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team.
