Only Jamari Buddin Until Penn State Football

With exactly six weeks to go until the Nittany Lions kick off their season opener at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, we honor a true freshman linebacker from the midwest in Jamari Buddin. A four-star recruit out of Michigan in the 2021 class, Buddin is a virtual lock to redshirt this year being behind such studs as Brandon Smith and Curtis Jacobs. Give him a couple of years in the strength and conditioning program though, and at the very least, you will see him become a key member of the linebacking rotation, if not an outright starter.
