D’Anton Lynn has returned to Penn State as the Nittany Lions’ new defensive coordinator. He emphasizes the importance of perspective, using the surrounding landscape to illustrate his points to players.
D’Anton Lynn admits he had “tunnel vision” during his playing days at Penn State. Now, as the new Nittany Lions defensive coordinator, he is back in Happy Valley and utilizing the central Pennsylvania scenery to teach his players a lesson about broader awareness.
Lynn points to Mount Nittany, which rises 2,077 feet approximately one mile east of the team’s practice facility, as a visual aid. He believes the unobstructed view from the practice fields offers a powerful reminder to players to maintain a wide perspective.
This appointment marks a return to his alma mater for Lynn, who played for the Nittany Lions. The reason for emphasizing perspective is not explicitly stated beyond his acknowledgement of his own past “tunnel vision” as a player.
