Penn State football announced its team captains for the 2025-26 season. The group of five includes two seniors and three redshirt seniors: quarterback Drew Allar, defensive tackle Zane Durant, center Nick Dawkins, linebacker Dominic DeLuca, and long snapper Tyler Duzansky.
Allar and Dawkins enter their second season as team captains and DeLuca is entering his third. The three-time captain joins an exclusive group of three Nittany Lions who were captains for at least three seasons. Former Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford and linebacker Jonathan Sutherland were each captains for four years.
While punter Riley Thompson was a 2024 team captain, he did not take a sixth spot despite Penn State notably having six team captains in the past.
