9. Kevin Givens (Defensive line)

One of the most versatile defensive linemen we’ve seen at Penn State, Givens provided production at both defensive end and tackle.

In 40 games, Givens recorded 83 tackles, with 22 being for loss. He added 13.5 sacks in that time.

Givens was part of Penn State Football’s dominant 2016 and 2017 defensive line, which both had over 40 sacks.

In addition to his production, his ability bounce around the line made him so valuable.

He is currently with the San Francisco 49ers.
