Before Alijah Carnell ever played at Bishop Gorman or arrived at Penn State, his most important lessons came from home.Raised by a single mother who worked long hours in a predominantly male field, Carnell watched her lead through discipline, respect, resilience and an unwavering belief that no goal was out of reach. She became his first mentor, his greatest influence and the example behind the work ethic he now carries into Penn State Football.In this player profile, Carnell discusses learning football later than most players, struggling with anxiety and identity in high school, overcoming a torn labrum, following Coach Deion Barnes to Penn State and pursuing his goal of becoming elite at the sport he once walked away from.He also shares the standards his mother taught him, his excitement for playing inside Beaver Stadium and the mentality he hopes to bring to the Nittany Lions' defensive line.Presented by PAM Health: https://pamhealth.com/Chapters:00:00 Meet Alijah Carnell00:59 From Basketball to Defensive Tackle01:22 His Mom's Influence02:09 Battling Anxiety02:42 Learning Through Adversity03:16 Life at Bishop Gorman04:04 Why He Wanted to Come to Penn State04:28 Biggest Adjustment to Happy Valley04:53 Life Beyond Football05:22 Ready for Beaver StadiumFOLLOW STATE MEDIA HERE:► TWITTER | ⁠https://twitter.com/StateMediaPSU⁠► TIKTOK | ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@statemediapsu⁠► INSTAGRAM | ⁠https://www.instagram.com/statemediapsu/⁠► YOUTUBE | ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@StateMediaPSU?sub_confirmation=1⁠► FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558183472272#pennstate #weare #CollegeFootball

Owen Alicience didn't begin playing football until he was 16 years old. Before becoming a Penn State offensive lineman, he was a hockey player who thought his high school coach was joking when he predicted that football could take him to the Division I level.His introduction to the sport was anything but easy. Alicience entered his first fall camp with no previous football experience, then faced two four-star edge rushers in the first game of his career. He survived the early adversity, fell in love with the process of improving and committed himself completely to the game.That commitment included transforming his body from approximately 220 pounds when he started playing to more than 300 pounds as a college offensive lineman.In this Penn State player profile, Alicience discusses the influence of his parents, the coach who recognized his potential, his rapid introduction to football, the challenge of gaining weight, his first experience inside Beaver Stadium and why Penn State's culture felt like the right fit.He also explains how being overlooked continues to motivate him as he works to take advantage of an opportunity he once never imagined was possible.Subscribe for more Penn State Football player profiles, behind-the-scenes stories and exclusive Nittany Lions content.Presented by PAM Health - https://pamhealth.com/Chapters:00:00 Meet Owen Alicience00:22 Starting Football at 1600:48 Brutal First Fall Camp01:03 Facing Two Four-Star Edge Rushers01:44 The Coach Who Changed His Journey02:12 Going From 220 to 310 Pounds02:39 First Penn State Visit03:01 Experiencing the Beaver Stadium White Out03:31 The Penn State Family Is Everywhere03:49 Fishing, Hunting and Golf04:06 Underdog MentalityFOLLOW STATE MEDIA HERE:► TWITTER | ⁠https://twitter.com/StateMediaPSU⁠► TIKTOK | ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@statemediapsu⁠► INSTAGRAM | ⁠https://www.instagram.com/statemediapsu/⁠► YOUTUBE | ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@StateMediaPSU?sub_confirmation=1⁠► FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558183472272#PennStateFootball #WeAre #CollegeFootball
