The Starters: Micah Parsons, Ellis Brooks/Jesse Luketa, Brandon Smith

Folks, this group is going to be gooooooood.

Micah Parsons is arguably the best player in college football. Last season he racked up 109 tackles, 14 tackles for a loss, 5 sacks, 5 pass break ups, and 4 forced fumbles. This marked the second time in as many years on campus that he led the Nittany Lions in tackles.
