Penn State football will be without star freshman defensive end Chaz Coleman.
Earlier in the week, interim head coach Terry Smith said Coleman was day-to-day, but the edge rusher was not in practice leading up to Saturday's contest. He did not play against Indiana in Week 11.
Without full confirmation on his status, there was hope for Coleman to return. He showed signs of becoming an elite edge rusher at the start of the season, and former head coach James Franklin confidently gave him the green light before the 2025 season kicked off.
The true freshman defender registered seven tackles, two fumble recoveries, one sack, one forced fumble, and one pass defensed in his four game appearances so far.
