Paul Posluszny breathed new life into the linebacker spot at Penn State. A year after he arrived, Dan Connor molded his game under Posluszny, then Sean Lee entered the fray and learned the game under Posluszny and Connor. Now Navarro Bowman enters the mix, who as a redshirt freshman, he's hoping to make the kind of impact and a young age that Connor and Lee did.
Only this time he won't wait until mid-season or during a bowl game to make his name known.
Bowman is one of three linebackers competing for the outside starting spot opposite of Lee. Connor has been moved to the inside this off season to replace Posluszny. Bowman is currently locked in a battle with junior eligible Tyrell Sales and fellow redshirt Bani Gbadyu.
But just ask Bowman, it's him and everybody else.
“My spot to lose?” Bowman asked rhetorically during Friday's fifth annual Lift for Life event, “I'd say it's my spot to keep. I think I earned the position in the spring game and now I'm going into the off season and plan on keep working hard and hopefully be the starter like I said.”
Is Bowman, a freakish athlete from District Heights, Md. ready for primetime?
