Big Ten quarterbacks beware, Penn State football’s pass rush is on the hunt. Between all its defensive linemen, the Nittany Lions return nine playmakers that saw significant time last year. The production proves substantial as well with 21.5 sacks returning from those nine key players. The best part for the Nittany Lions, all these guys can do different things.
From speedy edge rushers to run-stuffing defensive tackles, this front could be top 25 in the nation. Last year alone they helped hold opponents to just 16.5 points per game. With that experience and another offseason under their belts, they could overwhelm offenses across the Big Ten.
