  Nick Tarburton knew at some point that he would return to the football field. Even on the most grueling days of rehab for Tarburton, the Penn State defensive end didn't waver in his intent to get back into action for the Lions after injuries defined the early part of his time in college. In three seasons with the Lions, Tarburton has played in only nine games. He's changed positions from linebacker to defensive end, and he's earned praise from coaches and teammates for his work in the offseason. But he's yet to fully showcase the range of skills that made him a four-star recruit in the Class of 2018 on the grass at Beaver Stadium. Tarburton, though, expects that to change this fall.

"I knew I would be back," Tarburton said over Zoom on Wednesday afternoon. "It was just a matter of time of when I was going to be fully ready to go, and I knew I was going to come back no matter what. But the time is great now, and I'm feeling the best I have since I've gotten up here, so I'm super excited for this season." Tarburton said his injuries were "a little bit of everything" and he was "nicked up in a lot of spots." But he was healthy this offseason, and it led to some hype from the men who would know best on how Tarburton is progressing. Last month, coach James Franklin highlighted Tarburton as a potential breakout candidate, while strength coach Dwight Galt praised Tarburton's work in the offseason program. "It probably was the best winter I've had since I've been here," Tarburton said. - Tribune Review
