Penn State welcomed three more New Jersey prep standouts to the program in 2011, including guard Angelo Mangiro. The former Roxbury High School all-state selection took a redshirt year in 2011 and is looking forward to continuing his efforts to try and earn a spot in the offensive line rotation. The unit will be looking to replace four senior starters from last year. The highly-skilled and strong Mangiro owned a cumulative grade-point average above 3.0 after the spring semester and is a potential Academic All-Big Ten candidate. He is among seven Nittany Lions from New Jersey.
