As one of the sole bright spots for the Illini in Saturday’s loss against Penn State, junior defensive tackle Jer’Zhan Newton dominated the Nittany Lions’ offensive line.
Newton was all over the field in Week 3.
He led the nation among DTs with 14 total pressures, seven of which were QB pressures, a 24% pass rush win rate, an 86.6 run defense grade and an 89.8 PFF grade.
