Over the past few seasons, all eyes have been on Penn State’s offense.
Last year, Grant Ament and Mac O’Keefe led a Nittany Lion team that had a great shot at winning a national championship before the coronavirus pandemic cut the season short.
While the offense will look a little different without the presence of Ament, who graduated and became the first overall pick in the Premier Lacrosse League College Draft, coach Jeff Tambroni will have a different group returning most of its playmakers from a season ago.
That group? Defense.
Last season, the key to success for Penn State’s defense was to fill the shoes left by four-year starter Chris Sabia, who joined the PLL after his senior year in 2019.
