The best piece of news that came out of Penn State’s media day on Friday for the TaxSlayer Bowl was when head coach James Franklin announced that defensive end Carl Nassib is healed and will return for the bowl game. After missing the majority of the final two regular season games, Nassib will look to end his collegiate career in a big way.
A former walk-on, Nassib played his way into a starting role this season at defensive end. He made the most of his opportunity and blossomed into one of the best defensive linemen in the nation.
