Penn State Football: Who is the best defensive player going into 2019?

The Penn State Football program has recently lost some solid defensive players to the NFL. Nick Scott, and Shareef Miller, to name a couple. Heading into the 2019 season, they are expected to have a solid defensive unit still. So which player exactly is anticipated to be the best on the team as we slowly approach the season?

Recently, 247 Sports’ Maryland team site put together a list of each Big Ten teams’ best defensive player, and a pass rusher represented the Penn State Nittany Lions on the list. According to Jordan James of Inside Maryland Sports, defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos took the cake.
