In Andy Kotelnicky, Penn State Hopes To Go Back To Explosion
Bee One Gee news, your inbox. Every Friday. Tuesday was more of a quiet day for us. We visited “El Malecon,” an area of Santo Domingo that that sees a road going parallel to the shore.

PIAA proposal to force 2-time state champions into higher class lacks support from WPIAL board
Jul. 15—The WPIAL doesn't favor a potential PIAA rule that forces two-time defending state champions into a higher classification. The proposed change to the competitive-balance rule was discussed and disliked by the WPIAL board Monday because it could unjustly punish successful programs that didn't use transfers to reload, said WPIAL president Brian Geyer. The proposal is one of several ...
Beaver Stadium Construction Updates: What Student Gate A and the Super Ribbon South End Scoreboard Look Like
Penn State athletic director Pat Kraft, we have learned, doesn’t mess around. And neither do the construction crews and cranes operators that were working on Saturday to feverishly finish some early key elements of the multi-year, multi-hundred million dollar renovation of Beaver Stadium. Time is of the essence. While downtown State College and the central Penn State campus may have been the region’s epicenter on Saturday, just a bit more than a mile to the north crews were at work trying to complete essential punch list items for a renewed Beaver Stadium. The 2024 season is looming. James Franklin’s Nittany Lions were...

Parkland’s Dawkins ready to handle bigger role with slimmer build on Penn State football’s O-line
Nick Dawkins will have a critical role for the Penn State football team this fall. And he’ll be shouldering those responsibilities with a thinner build. Dawkins, a Parkland High School graduate, is on track to be the Nittany Lions’ starting center when they kick off the season Aug. 31 at West Virginia. To prepare for those duties in the system of new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, the offensive lineman lost 15 pounds.
Virginia wide reciever Ben Whitver set to return to State College next week
Penn State will welcome one of Virginia’s up-and-coming 2026 receivers to campus next Friday, July 26, in Powhatan native Ben Whitver. If that town sounds familiar, it’s because Whitver is currently a teammate of the future Nittany Lion tight end and 2025 prospect Matt Henderson. Henderson’s father, Mike, also happens to be Whitver’s head coach. […] The post Virginia wide reciever Ben Whitver set to return to State College next week appeared first on On3.

USC’s Lincoln Riley discusses 2024 football schedule on Big Ten Network
USC Trojans football head coach Lincoln Riley sat down with Rick Pizzo of Big Ten Network. He discussed Caleb Williams and the 2024 USC football schedule. At Trojans Wire, we think the Penn State home game on Oct. 12 might be the pivot point of the 2024 college football season for USC, which will not have a whole lot of margin for error in the rugged Big Ten Conference: If USC beats LSU and gets to mid-October with only one loss, this game might determine whether the Trojans make the playoff. Penn State at home is not an easy game, but it is also a game USC should probably win. The Trojans’ defense should be much improved in 2024, and that’s what gives us confidence to pick USC over Penn State. The Nittany Lions simply haven’t developed their offense enough to merit the benefit of the doubt here. If this game was in Happy Valley, we would probably give PSU the edge, but not in Los Angeles.

Nittany news and notes: Penn State misses out on another priority receiver recruit and more
Last week, Penn State’s 2025 recruiting class was dealt a massive blow when Harrisburg four-star wide receiver Lex Cyrus chose the South Carolina Gamecocks over the Nittany Lions. Cyrus was a crucial recruit for the class that lacks the necessary depth of elite talent at wide receiver, a position of weakness on the current roster, and was expected to head to Happy Valley.
Penn State Football Positional Previews: Wide Receivers
Penn State football has a tall order ahead of it in 2024 between the expanding Big Ten and the growing College Football Playoffs. With trips to USC and Wisconsin on the schedule and plenty of other challenges along the way there will be a lot of things that play into how the season unfolds. One of them will be a wide receiver group that underperformed in 2023 and is looking to bounce back in 2024. A lot of factors will go into how far Penn State can go this upcoming season, but the receivers will certainly be a big part...
