Penn State’s three leading reception leaders — Parker Washington, Mitchell Tinsley, and Brenton Strange — are all off to the great Roger Goodell-led beyond, meaning the Nittany Lions are going to have to replace 129 receptions, 1,550 receptions, and 12 touchdowns. That’s a tall task for any offense, let alone one that will also be breaking in a new quarterback. But there’s plenty of talent waiting in the wings, all the while, Penn State was busy on the transfer market bolstering its wide receiver group for new position coach Marques Hagans.
WIDE RECEIVER
X: Dante Cephas (RS JR) — Omari Evans (SO) — Anthony Ivey (RS FR)
Z: Tre Wallace (RS SO) — Malik McClain (JR) — Malick Meiga (RS JR)
Slot: KeAndre Lambert-Smith (SR) — Liam Clifford (RS SO) — Kaden Saunders (RS FR)
I am going to keep the wide receiver section shorter (spoiler: I mostly failed) than I have for other positions just because I talked a lot about it when Dante Cephas and Malik McClain committed.
