Penn State Momi Defense Coordinator Jim Knowles from Ohio

State College, Pa. – Penn State lured Tom Knowles from Ohio.

Nittany Lions hired Knowles to serve them as a defense coordinator. Nouls was in the same position with State Champions Buckeyes for three years.

Knowles replaces Tom Allen, who went to take over the same job with Clemson after Penn State fell from Notre Dame in the Semi-Minister College Football Playoff.

The state of Ohio had the best ranked defense in the country in 2024. Buckeyes held opponents at 254 yards while they had the result 14-2 and won the second national championship in the program in the ERA address.

While Penn State will lose several starters in the defense in the seventh place in the FBS allowed – including Big Ten Defense Players, Abdula Carter, which goes to NFL – Defensive Players Zane Durant and Days Dennis-Sutton, Linebacker Tony Rojas And Kornerbec Aj Harris will return.

Coach Penn Stejta James Franklin called Noulsa “strong strategist and excellent defense mind”.

Employment is a kind of return home for Noulsa, which grew up in the field of Philadelphia. He played collegial in Cornell before he went to the coaching place. Previous coaching stations are Duke, Oklahoma State and Mississippi.
