Penn State’s depth chart for Week 1 vs Nevada is taking shape — but some position battles remain unsettled. Host Zach Seyko breaks down every unit, from quarterback to special teams, and highlights which players fans should keep an eye on Saturday.
We cover why Ethan Grunkemeyer is QB2 over Jaxon Smolik (for now), the importance of settling RB3 behind Singleton and Allen, and how transfers Trebor Peña, Kyron Hudson, and Devonte Ross shape the receiver rotation. On defense, Chaz Coleman’s meteoric rise and Daryus Dixson’s green light prove freshmen will have an immediate impact. Plus, a score prediction, betting angle, and the three players to watch against Nevada.
