FRISCO, Texas — Growing up just 10 minutes from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Penn State linebacker Curtis Jacobs knows a thing or two about great linebacker play.
That education on linebacker play accelerated once he headed to college, landing at Linebacker U in Happy Valley with a Nittany Lions program that has pumped out some greats like Jack Ham, Shane Conlan, LaVar Arrington, Paul Posluszny, Dan Connor, Sean Lee, Micah Parsons and more. While at Penn State, Jacobs (6010, 236) was a three-year starter and finished his 45-game career with 171 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, 9.
