Penn State Football strength and conditioning coach Dwight Galt has turned some heads with how the Nittany Lions have performed at the NFL Scouting Combine each year, and that success could continue at the program’s pro day showcase later this month.

Galt helped Penn State Football set records during the 2018 NFL Combine when Saquon Barkley ran a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash, Chris Godwin reached a 36-inch vertical leap, and Mike Gesicki put up 22 reps on the bench press before leaping 41.
