D E C E M B E R 2 0 2 6 2 5 1,000 yards, 10 touchdowns — may or may not be attainable, but the chance to earn a living in professional football is very much within his grasp. The re- ceiver who once sat in a dorm wondering whether he would play again has been giving himself a realistic opportunity to accomplish something much larger than another productive college season. For Sowell, that was always the point of the final stop. Campbell's question about the next 12 months had made him think about what lies ahead — not just for himself but for his family, too. His performances with the Nittany Li- ons have been bringing that future into sharper focus. "They've done everything to put me in this position," he said. "I just want to give that back to them." ■ DEFENSE Defensive End 19 Yvan Kemajou So. 6-3 252 10 Caleb Bacon R-Sr. 6-4 242 Defensive Tackle 92 Siale Taupaki R-Sr.+ 6-2 326 91 Armstrong Nnodim R-So. 6-2 310 Defensive Tackle 99 Keanu Williams R-Sr. 6-5 317 98 Dallas Vakalahi Jr. 6-2 326 Five-Technique 39 Ty Blanding R-Jr. 6-1 301 91 Armstrong Nnodim R-So. 6-2 310 Defensive End 1 Ikenna Ezeogu R-Sr. 6-5 273 33 Alexander McPherson So. 6-6 254 Will Linebacker 13 Tony Rojas R-Jr. 6-2 236 26 Cam Smith R-Fr. 6-0 222 Mike Linebacker 8 Kooper Ebel Sr. 6-4 233 9 Cael Brezina Jr. 6-3 233 Sam Linebacker 31 Marcus Neal Jr. Jr. 6-1 216 32 John Klosterman R-Sr. 5-11 223 Cornerback 2 Audavion Collins R-Sr. 5-11 183 7 Zion Tracy Sr. 5-11 184 Nickel 17 Josiah Zayas Fr. 6-2 205 7 Zion Tracy Sr. 5-11 184 Safety 7 Zion Tracy Sr. 5-11 184 21 Vaboue Toure R-So. 6-1 209 Safety 3 Jamison Patton Sr. 6-2 206 4 Jeremiah Cooper R-Sr. 6-0 188 Cornerback 5 Daryus Dixson So. 6-0 184 0 Jahmir Joseph R-Fr. 6-0 190 PENN STATE DEPTH CHART Placekicker 94 Ryan Barker R-Jr. 6-2 191 98 Matthew Parker R-Fr. 6-0 224 Kickoffs 96 Lucas Tenbrock Fr. 6-6 210 98 Matthew Parker R-Fr. 6-0 224 Punter 38 Nathan Tiyce So. 6-5 232 96 Lucas Tenbrock Fr. 6-6 210 Long Snapper 35 Blaise Sokach-Minnick R-Sr. 6-3 216 92 Andrew Dufault R-So. 6-1 249 Punt Returns 2 Zay Robinson R-Fr. 5-11 186 7 Zion Tracy Sr. 5-11 184 Kickoff Returns 2 Zay Robinson R-Fr. 5-11 186 25 Quinton Martin Jr. R-So. 6-1 212 OFFENSE Quarterback 3 Rocco Becht R-Sr. 6-1 208 7 Alex Manske R-Fr. 6-3 210 10 Connor Barry Sr. 6-1 211 Running Back 21 Carson Hansen Sr. 6-2 216 26 Cam Wallace R-Jr. 5-9 206 1 James Peoples Jr. 5-10 214 25 Quinton Martin Jr. R-So. 6-1 212 X Wide Receiver 0 Chase Sowell R-Sr. 6-3 203 8 Karon Brookins R-Fr. 6-5 205 Z Wide Receiver 4 Brett Eskildsen Jr. 6-1 198 9 Amarion Jackson Fr. 6-2 192 F/Slot Wide Receiver 2 Zay Robinson R-Fr. 5-11 186 0 Chase Sowell R-Sr. 6-3 203 Tight End 18 Benjamin Brahmer Sr. 6-7 250 84 Gabe Burkle R-Sr. 6-6 247 F Tight End 87 Andrew Rappleyea R-Jr. 6-4 242 89 Finn Furmanek R-Jr. 6-3 251 Left Tackle 78 Malachi Goodman R-Fr. 6-6 330 71 Garrett Sexton R-So. 6-6 315 Left Guard 70 Trevor Buhr R-Jr. 6-4 318 54 Vaea Ikakoula R-Fr. 6-3 32 Center 51 Brock Riker R-So. 6-4 291 54 Vaea Ikakoula R-Fr. 6-3 326 Right Guard 50 Cooper Cousins Jr. 6-6 320 55 Chimdy Onoh R-Jr. 6-5 320 Right Tackle 68 Anthony Donkoh R-Jr. 6-5 334 77 Owen Aliciene R-Fr. 6-7 303 SPECIAL TEAMS Due to his injury, Howard isn't go- ing to come close to 1,000 yards this season, and Sowell might not get there either, but their success un- der Moore's tutelage has given Penn State reason to believe it can change its fortunes at a position group that has frequently been a source of con- cern. — Matt Herb Jahan Dotson had 91 catches for 1,182 yards and 12 TDs his senior year.
