RIVAL'S DEFENSE ALL BOWL TEAM PLAYERS SELECTION:
PITT
Matt Galambos
Inside linebacker
The skinny: Galambos trimmed his list to Pittsburgh, Rutgers and Harvard before committing to the Panthers in late August. Finishing up a productive four years on the field against Northwestern in the Pinstripe Bowl, Galambos had his best statistical game of the season. Despite the loss to the Wildcats, he still finished with a season-high 15 tackles, plus added two tackles for a loss and one pass break-up.
NO PENN STATE OR WVU PLAYERS ON DEFENSE;

RIVAL'S OFFENSE ALL BOWL TEAM PLAYER'S SELECTION:
PENN STATE:
Saquon Barkley
Running Back
The skinny: Barkley was originally committed to Rutgers, but re-opened his process as additional offers began to pile up. Penn State almost immediately became the favorite as the Nittany Lions made Barkley a recruiting priority, which eventually led to his commitment. Through his first two collegiate seasons, Barkley has proven himself as one of the nation’s best. He impressed in Penn State's loss to USC in the Rose Bowl, racking up 194 yards and two touchdowns on the ground and 55 yards and a third touchdown through the air.
Chris Godwin
Wide Receiver
The skinny: Godwin had narrowed his focus to Penn State, Ohio State, Virginia Tech and Rutgers when he made his commitment to the Nittany Lions in late April. Despite the coaching change in Happy Valley later that year, he remained firm with his word. Godwin finished off a very successful Penn State career with a memorable performance in the Rose Bowl, finishing with nine receptions for 187 yards and two touchdowns. He has since declared for the upcoming NFL Draft.
Honorable Mention:
Penn State's Brian Gaia
