Show Notes
Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles didn’t sugarcoat his thoughts on the linebacker room — revealing he currently only trusts three players. Host Zach Seyko breaks down who those players are, why depth is a concern, and how the position battle for the green dot is shaping up. Plus, three true freshmen are already impressing on defense and could see the field sooner than expected. Finally, we dive into the QB2 battle between Ethan Grunkemeyer and Jaxon Smolik and why one player may have taken a slight lead in the race.
