Former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles made his way over to Happy Valley after the 2024-25 season and became just one more piece to the elite Penn State football team for the coming season.
At 2025 Big Ten Media Days, third-year starting quarterback Drew Allar talked about the impact Knowles already has, specifically on the offense.
"I’ve actually been able to sit down with [Knowles] and a couple of guys that he brought over from Ohio State, and really sit back and watch the game from last year and just really understand their philosophy," Allar said.
