Jayson Oweh cocked his head to the side and stared up at the vertical jump tester as if he expected better.
The Penn State defensive end never appeared satisfied during Thursday’s weightlifting session open to the media, often shaking his head and rarely smiling, even when his teammates applauded or shouted “Oh my God!” Dwight Galt, assistant athletics director of performance enhancement, said that’s been a theme for the explosive redshirt freshman this offseason: It’s never good enough for Oweh.
Galt said Oweh’s constant pushing has led to measurables that are nearly off the charts, just as they were again Thursday — with a 455-pound squat seven times, a 355-pound power clean, a 390-pound bench and an unofficial 36-inch vertical.
