Penn State men’s lacrosse defender Kevin Parnham was selected No. 26 overall by the Denver Outlaws in the Premier Lacrosse League draft on Tuesday night.

Parnham has been a force to be reckoned with on defense during his four years as a Nittany Lion. The New Jersey native has played in 46 games in his career after some injuries, racking up 101 ground balls and 12 turnovers.

This season, Parnham led the defense and recorded three assists and 33 ground balls in his 14 games.

Parnham and the Nittany Lions will be back in action on Saturday at home against Colgate to kick off the NCAA Tournament. Play will begin at 5 p.m.
