One of the best defensive tackles in the nation is back for another season in the blue and white. P.J. Mustipher suffered an injury in the week six loss at Iowa, which cost him the remainder of the 2021 season. Mustipher is more than ready to put that behind him as he prepares to lead the Nittany Lions defense this fall.

Things are starting on a high note as Mustipher has been named to the watch lists for both the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Outland Trophy. The Nagurski is given to the best defensive player in college football, regardless of position.
