Penn’s disruptive edge with a knack for splash plays
Jack Madden’s Penn profile shows a productive, high-motor defensive end who, in the 2015 season, posted 46 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, a forced fumble and three pass breakups despite missing two games to injury[3][13]. The big takeaway: he wasn’t just piling up tackles—he was consistently creating negative plays, which is exactly what you want from an edge defender[3]. He also earned recognition as part of Penn’s Ivy League championship era, and his recruiting bio highlighted him as a first-team all-state, all-conference, captain-type leader out of high school[4][8].
