Penn State’s rugged, versatile interior disruptor
Tyrell Chavis was a hard-nosed Penn State defensive tackle who brought real juice to the interior in the 2017 season, finishing with 32 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and 3.0 sacks, all of his sacks coming that year. He stood out for his versatility — Penn State coaches noted he could play both nose and three-technique — plus the kind of explosiveness and resilience that earned him the Tim Shaw Thrive Award. If you want a lineman with toughness, depth-value, and a backstory that says ‘no quit,’ Chavis fits the bill.
