Armstrong Nnodim Had 30 Sacks in Two Seasons, Now He’s at Penn State | Lions Den2 sep16 min

<p>Penn State defensive tackle Armstrong Nnodim joins The Lions Den to talk about his journey to Happy Valley, transferring from Oklahoma State, his dominant high school football career and the mindset he brings to the Nittany Lions.Nnodim opens up about recording an incredible 30 sacks and 59 tackles for loss in just two high school seasons, why football is “90% mental,” and why his mentality starts with being hungrier than the player across from him. He also explains what he wants Penn State fans to see when they turn on the tape: a fast, explosive, aggressive defensive lineman flying around and making plays.But this episode goes well beyond football. Armstrong tells stories about getting destroyed 72–10 in Madden, attempting his own childhood haircut with scissors, growing up competing with his brothers, gaining weight with some help from Church’s Chicken, wrestling before becoming a standout football player and eventually reaching a place he says he always dreamed of playing: Penn State.Presented by PAM Health: https://pamhealth.com/</p>
