Penn State Football: The year of the freshman continues

This year has featured some star-studded freshmen in the Penn State football program. In some ways that’s a good thing, showing that the coaches have recruited the right players over the last couple seasons. At the same time, it’s not a great part of the 2018 season, because that means the upperclassmen haven’t stepped up (unfortunately). Still, these guys deserve a shout out for their incredible seasons so far.

True freshmen and redshirt freshmen have shined all across this group at skill position spots. Starting with the two biggest names, KJ Hamler and Pat Freiermuth lead the young offense.
