Penn State Defensive Tackle Has Roundhouse Kicking Skills Of A Young Chuck Norris

It might not be a legal football maneuver, but Penn State defensive tackle Anthony Zettel has some serious skills he can put on display if the benches ever clear at Beaver Stadium in State College. The 40-year-old-looking college football player was showing off his roundhouse kicking ability in the Nittany Lions’ locker room this weekend.

Who knew an inside look in the Penn State football locker room…actually no, that joke is low hanging fruit and you expect better from me, so I won’t go there.

Some of you may recognize Zettel as the man who form-tackled a harmless, dying tree last May:

So yeah, this guy is fucking insane.

What is funny is how he nearly decapitates one of his teammates with the brunt force of his roundhouse kick. That takes some natural Jackie Chan-like abilities. That water bottle was probably clocking between 100-130 mph at its peak. Don’t discount the level of prowess one must have to roundhouse kick something like Zettel can. Go outside and try to do it right now. It ain’t easy.

Penn State might have a garbage football team this year, but I’d take Zettel over just about anybody else in college football. That’s not a guy I’d ever want to cross.

    Who expects better from you, Steve? Though you’ve stripped everyone of the ability to expect less.

    “Garbage football team this year?” Penn State’s actually looking pretty good, unlike Steve Holt’s ability to put together a remotely interesting article…

    Penn State might be garbage? If Hackenberg plays well they have a legitimate shot at the Big 10 Title
