Penn State will enter the 2019 season again with some high expectations, particularly since several talented players will be returning on offense. True sophomore Ricky Slade saw some early time as a freshman last year, but is in a perfect position to play a big key in the Penn State offense this coming season.
When Slade came to Penn State as a member of the class of 2018, it was expected that he would be a key starter for the Nittany Lions in a few years. Penn State entered last season with a crowded depth chart at running back, so Slade could be eased into his role.
