Overview:
Penn State has a young defensive line room and newcomer Kaleb Artis will bring a lot of traits to the table. It’s worth noting that we do not know the status of PJ Mustipher for next season. If he were to come back, that would be huge for Penn State, which has young talent.
Artis is a player who can make plays from anywhere on the defensive line. But, he excels primarily on the outside. Artis stands 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds. Penn State had a rotation of underclassmen play throughout the season barring the injury of Mustipher.
With a young core coming in, that leaves room for plenty of opportunity for one of them to step up and be the main guy, especially once Mustipher leaves.
Artis didn’t have too many offers coming in. Much of his offers came from the ACC. But, it eventually came down to him wanting to stay on the East Coast and play for James Franklin.
With a talented defensive line, The future is bright for that area, especially with the new defensive coordinator in Manny Diaz, who brings a lot of experience to the table and is arguably one of the best defensive coordinators in college football.
