An In Depth Look at the New Penn State Nittany Lions Defense / Best Defensive Position Group?

The Penn State Nittany Lions will be down some key defenders like Ji'Ayir Brown, PJ Mustipher, Joey Porter Jr., and Nick Tarburton, but with Manny Diaz back for a second season, Penn State football should be able to be even better in 2023. Locked On Nittany Lions host Zach Seyko welcomes back former Penn State Nittany Lions defensive lineman Aeneas Hawkins to discuss why Diaz's return is so crucial, which former Penn State defender will be the toughest to replace, and why Adisa Isaac and Curtis Jacobs make the Nittany Lions that much better. Plus, find out why Zane Durant and Zakee Wheatley could play larger roles for the Penn State Nittany Lions than most people expect. Does Aeneas think this team is ready for the College Football Playoff? Get the answer to this question and much more on an all new episode of Locked On Nittany Lions.
