Penn State redshirt report: Why former four-star tackle Michal Menet could be the Lions' center next season

The biggest task facing Penn State's offensive line in early 2017 is finding a replacement for graduated center Brian Gaia.

Michal Menet could be it.

The former four-star high school tackle has bulked up during a redshirt year with the Nittany Lions, and he's also worked on snapping the football. He's not a shoe-in for the starting job, but at 6-foot-4 and roughly 300 pounds, Menet is one of a few guys in the mix to fill Gaia's shoes.

"Before practice, we do a thing with the quarterbacks where you just go and take a bunch of snaps and stuff," Menet said before the Rose Bowl.
