STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Carl Nassib never started a high school or college game until this season. But the former walk-on still leads the nation in sacks (11.5), tackles for loss (15.5) and forced fumbles (5).
And he still doesn’t want to talk about it.
Penn State’s soft-spoken defensive end took the dais Tuesday afternoon -- one of the few times he’s spoken publicly this season -- and said he’s still trying to get used to the spotlight. He thanked a reporter for his congratulations on making ESPN.com’s midseason All-America team, but the redshirt senior still mostly tried to deflect questions about his personal accolades.
