Paul Posluszny, who wore No. 31 for the Nittany Lions from 2003-06, was a First Team All-American in both 2005 and 2006 and a two-time finalist for the Lombardi Award, and was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in 2024.

As young athletes head back to practice, it's important to gradually build strength, flexibility and endurance instead of jumping straight into intense workouts. A slow, steady return to activity helps reduce the risk of overuse injuries and keeps athletes performing at their best all season long.
