Matt Campbell and his staff are well aware of the value of that multiplicity, and it shows in how they are deploying their players heading into summer training camp. A newer name to that multiplicity mix is redshirt senior Caleb Bacon, who is listed as a linebacker on Penn State’s roster but has worked exclusively along the defensive line throughout the first week of camp. He certainly has the ability to slide back and play Mike or Will linebacker,” said Campbell of Bacon. “I like being on the line, it kind of frees you up a little bit more,” said Bacon. “You know, it’s not as if we’ve had anybody here in this defense for a very long period of time, right?”
