With Jack Crawford and Eric Latimore entering their senior seasons, the Nittany Lions are blessed to have C.J. Olaniyan among a trio of promising defensive ends who were redshirted last year as freshmen. Olaniyan possesses great size, athleticism and instincts and made significant progress during his first year at Penn State. He should be among the primary challengers for time in the defensive end rotation this fall. He joined quarterback Rob Bolden as Nittany Lions in the Class of 2010 from Michigan.
