Hi ladies and gents, it has been awhile. Gonna be brief because I'm a busy man.
Offense:
RB: A very deep and talented RB room, with potentially two high draft picks in Singleton and Allen. They've been around forever, but Penn State also has a very talented group of underclassman that will probably shoulder more of the load this season. Should be among the best in the country. GRADE: A
Offensive Line: This will probably be Penn State's best offensive line sine 1994. Last year's offensive line was dominant, and Penn State returns 4 starters from that squad. The unit is very deep, with plenty of experience. Most publications have PSU's OLine ranked as the best in the B1G, with Athlon ranking them the 2nd best line in the country. GRADE: A
Wide Receivers: In 2024, the lions had their worst wide receiver room since the early 2000s. Famously, this unit did not record a single reception in the orange bowl. However, PSU has hit the portal hard, adding Kyron Hudson (USC), Devonte Ross (Troy), and Trebor Pena (Syracuse). All 3 of these wide receivers should be an upgrade over their 2024 counterparts. Interestingly, PFF now ranks the PSU wide receiver room as one of the best in the nation, as they earned an "honorable mention" when discussing the best 10 units in the country. This unit is still hard to grade, but if you forced me to - GRADE: B-
Tight Ends: Are you ready for a crazy stat? Penn State currently has 8 tight ends on NFL Rosters. Yes, Penn State loses Tyler Warren, but the room is deep and very, very talented. Luke Reynolds and Kahlil Dinkins got a lot of experience last year, and looked really, really good. In addition, Andrew Rappleyea returns from injury. GRADE: B
Quarterback: Drew Allar returns, but losing Beau Pribula in the playoffs was a huge blow. Beau is going to be amazing at Missouri. As for Allar, there's not much to say that hasn't been said. He has improved every year, so we are hoping that continues. Who knows, maybe having some actual wide receivers to throw to could be good for him? A lot of people have Drew as a first round pick, or perhaps even the first QB taken in the draft. I do think he will be better, but I'm not prepared to go that far. GRADE: B+
Hopefully I'll have time for the defense later.

Howdy BBTZ.

Welcome back! Looking forward to the Defense review.

all I gotta say is Frames Janklin better get it done this year.
he’s got the senior QB returning for his 4th year starting, a cupcake schedule, an excellent experienced 1-2 RB duo, added the porthole WR from Syracuse, and they return a good deal on defense and added Jim Knowles one of the best DC’s in the game.
Buddy has zero excuses to not win the B1G and make it to the national title game imo. If he doesn’t do it this year he never will imo.

Or he could follow Ryan Day’s formula and just lose to Michigan every year. :)

brother they were all rookies in the nfl and few of them like JJ and Corum were hurt almost all of their rookie year. you really suggesting you can judge a draft class based on a rookie year? Wtf ??
not to mention lot of 2025 draftees like Will Johnson, Mason Graham, Colston Loveland, and Kenneth Grant were starters on those 2022 & 2023 teams and have yet to play in the NFL.
how’s Aidan Hutchinson who absolutely dominated Ohio State’s offensive line in the 2021 game in Ann Arbor doing in the nfl? Hint: REALLY f’ng good :)

good so far you're 1 for two drafts and as you will soon see what the NCAA has confirmed that he was positioned in just right place to help pad those stats
there is a more telling/accurate metric I went to Sporting News(https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/michigan-players-drafted-2024-nfl-draft-jj-mccarthy-corum/dd8ceec9eea205f378110acd) and reviewed all of M's list of NFL Draftees following their "Legendary Season". I used Pro Football Reference for stats, these Picks were either out for the season,inactive or were buffing the bench with their backsides.The Blue Wall deluded their disciples into thinking this legendary draft would rival Lombardi's Packers,Noll's Steelers or the '85 Bears. They must be invading Dean Martin's liquor cabinet and playing with Quija Boards if they really believe that
For instance Mr LLC himself- Blake Crum,err Corum had a robust 207 yds on the season,Mike Sainristil safety for Washington shows some promise as he showed up for all 16 games.AJ Barner, TE for Seattle had 245 yds receiving,congratulations AJ you were one of the more productive ones. Trevor Keegan played in one game for the Eagles but got a ring,Congats Trevor. But for the rest Great Googly Moogly I honestly was shocked,2 of the draftees had no stats posted at all, 3 off them had o-o-o-o-o across the stat sheet - I'm serious . Search for your self but be warned - I spent more time compiling this post than those woefull wastrels saw playing time - unfacking believable.

Back in 2001 or 2002 @Big Beef Tacosupreme (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1529) had a PSU thread at the old CFN site.
It turned into a thread to post jokes in, which is way better than this shit.

i was going to bring that up like '03/'04 when i came aboard and you guys were here. That thread went like over 300 pages if i remember correctly back then there was nothing close like these mega diatribes

Ok, defense:
Linebackers:
Tony Rojas has been earning praise for his athleticism and work ethic for the last two years. Unfortunately he spent 2024 dealing with nagging injuries and never realized his full potential. He missed spring ball in order to get surgery on his shoulder, and is apparently back to full strength.
Dominic DeLuca also returns. DeLuca has a brilliant football mind, but he lacks the top end athleticism typical of a Penn State linebacker. He is excellent in passing situations. He had 3 interceptions last year on only 5 starts.
Penn State also added North Carolina linebacker Amare Campbell (74 tackles in 2024)
Keon Wylie will be the chief backup, and PSU will need to see development from him and the other underclassman.
There is some concern here. Rojas has a chance to be a breakout star, but I worry about the depth of the unit overall. They should be above average defending against the pass, but they may struggle to get to the QB and against the run at times. Overall I expect them to be about 5th or 6th in the B1G. GRADE: C+
I'll have to do the rest in a bit.
