Right at the forefront of Penn State football’s program turnaround in 2016, was a bevy of superstar talent that helped the team go on a 31-9 stint over the next three campaigns. Lost in the shuffle of an exciting, high-flying offense led by Saquon Barkley and Trace McSorley was an underrated defense. Safeties Marcus Allen, Troy Apke, linebacker Jason Cabinda, cornerbacks Grant Haley, Christian Campbell, etcetera got a lot of credit for the run. But, there were plenty of great stars that saw the start of the run like defensive end Shareef Miller
Miller is currently headed for the NFL Draft after a phenomenal past two seasons, but he started seeing time during his freshman year in 2016.
