Veteran experience, returners and transfers alike, sets Penn State a part from other teams across the country, especially in the Big Ten. Head coach James Franklin at Penn State Media Day recognized the role veteran leadership has for the Nittany Lions this season.

Not only did he talk about the impact transfers Trebor Pena, Devonte Ross, and Kyron Hudson have on the team in terms of experience, but he expressed his confidence in a position group that failed to perform well in 2024-25.
