Penn State had one of the best receivers in the country in 2021 with Jahan Dotson. However, Dotson is now off to the NFL. Penn State is going to lose their most reliable weapon on offense and one of the best big-play receivers in the country. Dotson is a possible first-round pick and is not going to be easy to replace.

The Nittany Lions are going to have to replace him though and a candidate to do that would be an incoming receiver, Kaden Saunders.

Saunders is one of the highest-rated receivers in the country and is from the state of Ohio. It is always nice when Penn State can go into Ohio and steal one of the top prospects in the state from Ohio State. He has deep threat ability, much like Dotson has shown the past few years and that is why he is going to be an instant impact player.

Receivers like Saunders are game changers and he is going to be on the field early and often for Penn State next season.
