A few revisions now that the preseason is over and game prep has begun.
Wide Receivers (-): By far the weakest point on the team. Cephus is still learning the playbook but has not been the ace receiver PSU fans were hoping for. In fact, there will be many formations with only 2 wide receivers on the field. No real superstars, but Tre Wallace and KeAndre Lambert-Smith have separated themselves.
Tight Ends (+): Despite the fact that Brenton Strange was drafted number 61 overall, this room is very talented and deep, and will be better than last year. Expect to see lots of 2 TE sets, as Theo Johnson is probably Penn State's best receiver, and they need to get their best players on the field. Watch out for Tyler Warren and Khalil Dinkins.
Defensive Tackle (+): With the loss of PJ Mustipher, it was expected that this unit would take a step back. However, this unit is much improved and very deep, and should actually be improved over last year.
Middle Linebacker (+): Kobe King (Kalen's brother) has secured the starting position over Tyler Elsdon. Apparently both have gotten better, but King has really looked strong.
Cornerback (+): Johnny Dixon has been very good. He was excellent last year, but people expect him to be even better.
Quarterback (+): Practice reports about Drew Allar have been very good. The most common phrase used is "lives up to the hype." I am cautiously optimistic.
Expect to see a lot of 2 RB formations and 2 TE formations this year from Penn State.
