Michael Mauti enters the 2011 season eager to leave behind a couple of injuries that have prevented him from fully capitalizing on his immense talent and instincts. Atop the depth chart at middle linebacker following spring practice, Mauti could be poised to take his place among the pantheon of "Linebacker U." greats during his junior season. A potential All-America candidate, Sporting News and Phil Steele's College Football Preview selected Mauti preseason first-team All-Big Ten. A fierce competitor and one of the team's hardest workers, he possesses tremendous linebacking acumen and the athleticism and speed to chase down a ball-carrier or blanket a running back or tight end in pass coverage. Last year, Mauti returned to the field after a serious knee injury sidelined him in 2009. He made 67 tackles and recorded 5.5 tackles for loss (minus-18), with two sacks, despite missing time due to injuries. Hard-hitting and tenacious, Mauti is a gifted and highly-productive tackler in the same vein as recent Penn State "Linebacker U." standouts and current NFL players Paul Posluszny, Dan Connor, Navorro Bowman and Sean Lee. A U.S. Army All-American at Mandeville HS, Michael and his older brother, Patrick (2005-09), are part of the long line of father-son tandems to play for Joe Paterno, who also coached their dad, Rich, in the mid-1970s.
