Penn State’s Jalen Watson and Adam Laundree are polar opposites.
Whether it be nationalities or personalities, the two freshmen couldn’t be any more different.
Yet, they have been a staple in the starting lineup alongside Brandon Hackenberg and Will Campbell for the Nittany Lions this season.
Before Watson’s time at Penn State, he played two years in the MLS’s Vancouver Whitecaps youth academy, where Canadian star Alphonso Davies played before his move to Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich.
This season, Watson has started in nine of the Nittany Lions’ 10 games this season and plays as an outside back.
