Penn State spring football preview: A year of change for Nittany Lions

Penn State is headed into an interesting season, where the team will be without its biggest playmaker of 2018 in quarterback Trace McSorley as well as a plethora of other players who have either graduated, moved on to the NFL or decided to transfer.

The Nittany Lions saw 11 players transfer after last season, and they lose McSorley, running back Miles Sanders, defensive linemen Kevin Givens and Shareef Miller and offensive linemen Ryan Bates and Connor McGovern to the NFL.

Add in Nick Scott and Amani Oruwariye, defensive backs who are also no longer on the roster, and there are some big holes that need to be filled for the 2019 season.
