UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - It's been a while since All-Big Ten linebacker Jason Cabinda announced his decision to return to Penn State for his final season of eligibility in 2017. His decision, coming just days after tight end Mike Gesicki announced he'll return, also fell a little more than a week prior to safety Marcus Allen's decision to remain at Penn State for the 2017 season.
For Cabinda, the decision wasn't one he spent much time agonizing over, noting that he was actually about 90 percent sure of his choice come time to make the call.
"I wanted to make sure that I had my degree, that's what I came for at the end of the day, so leaving with a degree was very important to me," Cabinda said.
