The Nittany Lions have announced their three captains for the 2017 season, as voted on by coaches and teammates — Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley, linebacker Jason Cabinda and safety/special teamer Nick Scott.
The decisions were made public Wednesday afternoon.
McSorley, a redshirt junior, keyed the Nittany Lions’ explosive offense last year with 3,614 passing yards and 36 touchdowns; Cabinda is a senior leader of the defense after recording 81 tackles despite five missed games due to injury; and Scott, a redshirt junior, had eight special teams tackles in 2016, second-most on the team.
Penn State has one captain each for offense, defense and special teams.
