Super Sam.(PENN STATE / A CELEBRATION OF NITTANY LIONS FOOTBALL)

This Conlan is a two-time All-America with 4.55 speed, a 34-inch vertical leap and no OFF switch. He may be the best linebacker the Nittany Lions have ever put on the field. "We've never asked a linebacker to do as many things as we've asked him to do," says Penn State coach Joe Paterno. "We play him inside, we play him outside, we use him on pass defense. He's the same kind of athlete Jack Ham was--intelligent, intense, consistent."
