**Check out this sweet leap over the defenders by No. 26. No, it’s not Saquon Barkley. It’s freshman running back Caziah Holmes in practice.
And check out the reaction of the rest of the PSU players.

Update: 3:20 p.m.
Yetur Gross-Matos is getting a pressure every 5.9 pass rush snaps right now. That's a ridiculous rate of pressure, even for someone who is only in a rotational role right now.
For reference, that's better than Myles Garrett, Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, Shaq Barrett, and T.J. Watt.

**Feature on LB Brandon Smith
"He’s a big part of the plan right now. There aren’t a lot of guys walking around at 6-3, 245, and who run like he does. We're super excited about him."@brand0n_smith12 @CoachPry_LBU #PennState https://t.co/09G2MDhJp3
