Penn State Football: Nittany Lions two-deep depth chart projection
By Shane Lunnen
Penn State football has some important pieces to replace on both sides of the ball. Here is the Lions projected two-deep depth chart.
For Penn State, there is plenty to replace on both sides of the ball from last year’s 11-win team and Fiesta Bowl win. Coach James Franklin has been a recruiting machine and has stocked the cupboards well with a lot of talent. This year’s team has a nice blend of experience, rising stars, and young guys ready to make an impact.
Despite some rather large holes to fill, Penn State should still be in the mix of the Big Ten title race this fall. Here is a look at the projected starters when Penn State opens the season Sep. 1 against Appalachian State.
Other than the obvious, replacing all-world running back Saquon Barkley, Penn State will rely on a mix of new faces and experienced starters in 2018. Trace McSorely and Co. aim to reload, rather than rebuild. Here’s how the rest of the depth chart projects entering the season.
