Seventy-three days until Penn State football kicks off its season against Appalachian State.
Miranda is a redshirt freshman who impressed many on the practice squad last season. So much so, even, that at one point it was discussed whether Miranda could have his redshirt pulled due to injury concerns on the line.
Miranda didn’t end up playing for the Nittany Lions in 2017, but he will more than likely see some game time in 2018, even just in mop up duty. Had the NCAA instituted its new rule allowing redshirting players to play in up to four games and keep their redshirt status, he would almost assuredly have seen time already.
