Competition will be fierce for playing time in the linebacker rotation this fall and Andrew Dailey should be among the candidates to see action for "Linebacker U." A highly skilled and versatile athlete, Dailey made very good strides during his first season as a Nittany Lion. He will look to challenge Bani Gbadyu for one of the starting outside linebacker positions and could see some time on special teams. Dailey was twice named first-team All-Ohio and helped Massillon Washington HS to the 2005 Ohio Division I state championship game. He is one of seven returnees from Ohio.
