So You’ve Drafted Tariq Castro-Fields...

In one of the more exciting recruitments of the 2017 recruiting cycle, Penn State was able to snag Tariq Castro-Fields on National Signing Day from the hometown Maryland Terrapins. That ended up being a big get for the Nittany Lions as Castro-Fields — a.k.a. TCF — was a stalwart on the Penn State defense for five seasons. He played in 52 games during his five seasons with the Nittany Lions, with 30 of those games being as a starting cornerback. While TCF never earned first-team or even second-team All-Big Ten honors, he was extremely reliable on the backend of the Penn State defense from pretty much his first snaps as a true freshman.
