Why haven’t Justin Shorter, Penn State freshmen WRs made an impact in 2018?

With six games gone and six to go, Penn State’s highest-ranked offensive recruit in more than a decade and the Nittany Lions’ star of training camp have yet to make an impact. And it remains to be seen if they will in 2018.

True freshmen wide receivers Justin Shorter and Jahan Dotson, as well as Daniel George, have been virtual non-factors this season. All three debuted in a 63-10 rout of Kent State, and George made program history with a fourth-quarter 95-yard catch-and-run from Sean Clifford. But that is the only catch between three high school stars who combined to boast 159 receptions and 33 touchdowns as seniors.
