Penn State may not be as known for it’s defensive back prowess but they are starting to carve out some talent. The next face of the position should be [autotag]Jaylen Reed[/autotag].
Jaylen Reed was a freshman for the Nittany Lions last year but he was able to make appearances in eight games. He never saw a ton of meaningful snaps but he did get to play in some big games such as Ohio State and the bowl game against Arkansas.
This year though he has a chance to be the star safety on the team for new defensive coordinator [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag]. Diaz has produced several star-NFL safeties during his careers at both Texas and Miami, Penn State should be no different.
Keep in mind, the departure of [autotag]Jaquan Brisker[/autotag] there is a hole at the position for Reed to fill.
