Coaches Comments: “What can you say that has not already been said. J’ven is a primetime athlete for a kid that big. He has incredible size, top-flight athletic ability, and unbelievable feet. But on top of that, he is a smart football player. Last summer he took it upon himself to learn all 5 positions on the offensive line, and I’d be completely comfortable putting him at any of them. Last season alone, he played both guard spots and tackle.”
“This year he will be focusing more on guard because we want to take advantage of his size and athletic ability out on the edge. He was a sub on defense last year, but he will be counted on to take on a starting spot on that side of the ball as well. It is hard to block 310 pounds when he gets moving. He has worked extremely hard this off-season in the weight room, and on his technique on the football field. The skies are the limit for this Penn State commit.”
