28 days until Penn State football 2021 season opener

There are now just 28 days until Penn State football returns!

We are 28 days away from Penn State football! That’s just FOUR weeks from today!

Like yesterday’s countdown, there are currently two players that wear the number 28. The first one is a running back out of Stafford, Virginia named Devyn Ford.

As a recruit, Ford was a four-star that committed to Penn State in the class of 2019. He joins a deep running back room lead by Noah Cain. Many people viewed Ford as having a high football IQ. He was a well-known name coming out of high school.

Last season, Ford started in five of his six games he played. The Nittany Lions have a talented running back room who also added Baylor transfer John Lovett this offseason.

The other player who reps the number 28 is a freshman linebacker out of West Pittston, Pennsylvania named Dominic DeLuca.

As a recruit, DeLuca wasn’t a highly touted player. Penn State was his biggest offer. He committed to play at State College in the class of 2020.

DeLuca played safety in high school, but was recruited as a linebacker. He certainly has the size to maybe take on a hybrid role later in his collegiate career.

There have been a number of defensive prospects that have left their legacy at Beaver Stadium. Ford and DeLuca are two of the many underclassmen who hope to carve out their legacy in 28 days at Camp Randall Stadium.
