Like others before him and others who are current teammates, Kenny Pollock had other options. A
standout at Lake-Lehman HS in northeastern Pennsylvania, Pollock bypassed other opportunities in
order to become a member of the Penn State football team. Another Nittany Lion with family ties to the
University and the football program, Pollock is a good athlete and noted hard worker who has improved
and is looking to earn time in the linebacker rotation and on special teams. He took a redshirt season in
2008 and is seeking his first game action. Pollock brings good skills, instincts and attitude to the
practice field and weight room every day. Pollock has earned Dean's List recognition during his time as a
Penn State student-athlete. He owned a 3.41 cumulative grade-point average through the spring and is
a potential Academic All-Big Ten candidate.
