Pair of Nittany Lions Added to National Award Watchlists

Penn State senior wide receiver Jahan Dotson and senior safety Jaquan Brisker have been named to watchlists as we near closer to the 2021 season.

Dotson, the Nittany Lions top wide receiver and offensive star was named to the Maxwell Award watchlist. He’ll look to become the first Nittany Lion since Larry Johnson in 2002 to take home the honor. The Nazareth, PA native is coming off a breakout season posting 52 receptions for 884 yards and eight touchdowns. The Maxwell Award is given out annually to the nation’s best player in the eyes of the Maxwell Football Club.
