In my opinion, easily one of the 10 best linebackers in the history of the NFL.

Rashan Salaam Heisman winner w/ 298 carries.
Carter only 198 carries. Would have easily won Heisman if he had same or even a little less carries.

Franco was great, as were many other PSU RB's. But I think Ki-Jana was the best of all of them. Easily the fastest, and also had great strength. My favorite highlights of Penn State is watching his many breakaway runs. Never got caught from behind!

Lavar is number 1, Franco blocked for Lydel his whole college career, and I don't see Mitchell on the list which he should be. This guy made the difference in a game, and was a lot of fun to watch the domination. Lot of awesome memories

Most dominant player in Penn State History. Should be No.1

It is 2015 and I still have not seen a LB as dynamic and explosive as him. Would have been the next Lawrence Taylor if not for injuries.

Penn State had some great ones. However, I think Lavar was the best defensive player in Penn State history.

A stellar college running back who rushed for 2000+ yards in a single season. Went on to star for the Kansas City Chiefs and be voted to several Pro Bowls.

NaVorro Bowman
Navarro was a beast! He was a typical Penn State linebacker in that his motor was always running. And like other greats from Linebacker U, he made the big play when the Lions needed it most. He was a joy to watch, both a Penn State and for the 49ers.

Regardless of eras should be much higher. Possibly best defensive player along with Arrington.

Courtney Brown
If Aaron Maybin and Tamba Hali are listed, then Courtney Brown should definitely be on the list. Ranks satistically at the close to the top of the NCAA in sacks. I also beleive one of the best defensive ends ever at Penn State.
