My favorite all time player. Thank you for bringing him to our attention.Evan Royster
Leading rusher in PSU history and gets little to no recognition.
@bbrown already mentioned Josh Hull who was one of the first to come to mind. He was a walk-on LBer who started and was a favorite of Joe. Man he was a whipping boy for PSU fans.
Then you have Mike Hull who nobody ever mentions when they talk about LBers. 5-star recruit who was undersized but very good.
Matt Seneca. He was the starter when Zach Mills was a freshman. He was not very good and was benched and left the team after getting death threats from fans.
Chris Bell anyone? He threatened to stab a teammate in the cafeteria and was kicked off the team. He was a 5-star receiver.
LaVon Chisley. Kicked off the team and killed a guy. He is doing a life sentence currently.
AJ Price. WR who was built like a twig. Never gained weight but had hype out of high school.

Maybe this name was brought up but I always thought Ray Isom was a huge part of those 85 and 86 teams.I've been hesitant to inject my oldtimer's view, but I have lousy self control. For you young guys, here are some players who receive little attention in modern tiimes:
1. LB Charlie Zapiec, who started his career as an OG
2. LB Gary Gray, another key player in stuffing the "vaunted" Longhorn Wishbone in the '72 Cotton Bowl
3. LB John Skorupan, who flashed the skills of a Shane Conlan
4. Safety Neal Smith, who all by himself snared 12 interceptions in the 1969 season (counting the Orange Bowl)
5. LB Ed O'Neil, who even returned a punt and an interception for touchdowns ala Dennis Onkotz
