Former Penn State linebackers Sean Lee, Paul Posluszny were elected to WPIAL Hall of Fame.  Excellent choices.  These two gentlemen were two of Joepa's best!

I agree with you're top 5.  The only exception is I would probably flip-flop Puz at #2 & Lee at #3.

I don’t know how you could possibly rank the top LBs at PSU in a top 5? I’m not even sure you could condense that iconic list into a top 10. For what it’s worth, Ham himself has said Poz is the best LB to ever wear the Blue and White. I’ll take a crack at the top 5 guys I’ve seen, which leaves guys like Buttle, Onkontz, and Ham off the list since the were before my time. 

1) Poz

1a)Lee

1b) Conlan

1c) Bowman 

1d) Connor

The rest of my top 10 could include guys like these, in no particular order:

Arrington, Andre Collins, Bauer, Short, Wake, Goganious, Shaw, Gelzheiser, Givens.

Oh crap, forget it. I can’t do it. I can’t choose just 10. It’s impossible.

You are exactly right Roam but where do you put him? I honestly forgot about Lavar but did he have the NFL career that these guys did in my list. Seems like Derek Wake got better in the NFL but he was still a stud at penn st he just played on a bad team. IMO 03 was the weakest team we’ve ever had and I think that when Derek was at penn st? I would’ve had Bowman at #2 had he not got hurt

The great Jack Ham is a class act and very modest. Sounds like something he would say but I’ll tell ya what the greatest joe paterno said about Jack Ham when the reporter was asking him about comparing his LB’s at Penn st. He said nobody compares to Jack Ham lol We got The great Jack Ham and then everybody else lol
