Penn State Football 2019 Early Position Preview: Wide Receivers

Aside from the quarterback position, there isn’t a doubt that the wide receiver position is the most intriguing for Penn State going into next season.

The Nittany Lions were among the nation’s leaders in dropped passes least season and as a result, wide receivers coach David Corley was fired. Duke’s wide receivers coach Gerad Parker was hired as a replacement for Corley shortly after.

However, it isn’t only the coaching change at the wide receiver position that’s going to be different in 2019. The personnel is vastly different from last season. It all starts with the departures of DeAndre Thompkins and Juwan Johnson, two starting wide receivers from last season.
