According to the report from the Centre Daily Times, Amin Vanover was stopped in early August for an expired tag when an officer smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. Officers noted a ‘sleepy’ appearance and bloodshot eyes.

Vanover then told the police he did not own a medical marijuana card, and he subsequently failed field sobriety tests. His blood was later drawn and analysis showed a 95% certainty level for marijuana.

Through the first two games of this season, Vanover has recorded two tackles.

He’s a fifth-year player in his final season of eligibility, looking to help the Nittany Lions’ defensive front. Last year, Vanover recorded six tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble while appearing in eight games.

During his career, Amin Vanover has logged 31 tackles, 7.0 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble and three passes defended.
