Training Camp: Mangiro Leading the Battle in the Trenches

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Confidence is a powerful tool when it comes to leading players around you.

When a player makes assertive decisions in the heat of battle, his peers tend to trust him and follow suit.

Enter senior offensive lineman Angelo Mangiro - the player outside of Christian Hackenberg who had his hands on the ball during more than 90 percent of all the offensive plays last season.

Having played in 37-straight games, Mangiro is the offense's most experienced player, and he is one of the most versatile. The 6-foot-3 graduate senior worked his way up the depth chart to become the team's top guard and center reserve in 2012.
