As we saw last season, special teams can be the difference between a (wait for it...) special season and an otherwise forgettable one. 2025 is looking quite promising for Penn State’s special teams unit, given that several key starters return and some exciting newcomers entering into the mix.
The Starters
Ryan Barker (RS SO)
Gabe Nwosu (RS SR)
Nicholas Singleton (SR)
Riley Thompson (SR)
Tyler Duzansky (RS SR)
Barker stepping up in place of a shaky Sander Sahaydak is a major reason why Penn State finally cracked the College Football Playoff last season.
