ith Penn State near-
ing the start of its
2023 season, the
names and faces responsible
for the program's hopeful outlook
have come into focus. The Nittany
Lions have assembled a strong collec-
tion of talent, prompting Pro Football
Focus to recently award PSU its No. 7
preseason ranking.
With the Lions boasting All-Big Ten
potential at many spots, and even a
few All-America hopefuls, it was no
easy task to rank the team's top 25
players. Nevetheless, BWI has at-
tempted to do just that.
This isn't an exact science
with firmly established crite-
ria for inclusion. Some of the
players listed below are ex-
perienced and established.
Others are young and have
only just begun to tap into
their full potential. The one
trait they share is that they
will all have key roles to play
in the Lions' fortunes this fall.
Here, then, is a ranking of
Penn State's top players head-
ing into the season:
