Penn State football is finalizing preparations for the 2023 season, with fall camp starting late next month. Before the season gets here, we will examine each position on the offense and defense to see if that unit will be better or worse than last season.  If you think back to this time last year, the Penn State linebackers were a major question mark heading into the 2022 season. The team lost two starters, Brandon Smith and Ellis Brooks, and had major questions at middle linebacker.  Now? Well, if you are a Penn State fan, you know how this will go.
