Penn State Football defensive tackle – PJ Mustipher

When PJ Mustipher went down with an injury last October in Iowa City, it showed just how much value he brought to this Penn State Football team. In fact, he was a second team all-conference selection, despite playing in less than half of Penn State’s games.

It was a huge plus for the Nittany Lions when Mustipher announced that he would return for another season in the blue and white, and he’ll be one of the best interior defensive linemen in the Big Ten, and maybe even one of the best in the country.

As it currently stands, Mustipher is likely a mid-round draft selection, but if he can stay healthy and have the dominant season that some believe he can, he could put himself in position to be a definite day-two selection.
