Givens was one of many talents on the Nittany Lions’ defensive line in 2018. After a strong junior season with five sacks and 33 tackles, he decided to skip his senior year and turn his focus to making an NFL roster.

The defensive tackle had a solid performance at the 2019 NFL combine. His most impressive numbers were put up at the bench press, where he performed 32 reps, which tied him for third-best among defensive lineman.

After a fairly slow 40-yard dash attempt, Givens bounced back in his second try with a time of 4.87 seconds.

Despite being a bit of an unsung hero in Penn State’s skilled defensive line group, Givens was a presence as a run-stopper and hurrier of the quarterback. He finished with 82 total tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, and 13 sacks in 23 starts as a Nittany Lion.

The Altoona native’s best game was when he put up a career-high seven tackles and two tackles for loss in Penn State’s 51-6 drubbing of Pitt this past September.
