The waiting is finally over for Penn State football. It is now officially game week for the Nittany Lions as they prepare to open the 2021 season on the road against the Wisconsin Badgers this Saturday in Madison. Penn State will do so with high expectations of themselves but also know they need to prove to the world just how good they can still be. Having wide receiver Jahan Dotson on the team certainly helps, and Dotson is ready to get to work for the Nittany Lions this fall.
Dotson was one of the players who took time to speak to Penn State reporters on Tuesday on a variety of subjects ranging from what he has seen in his quarterback, Sean Clifford, to his 40-yard dash time, and more.
Here’s a sampling of what Dotson had to say to the media on Tuesday.
Dotson on Sean Clifford…
Dotson said Sean Clifford looks the best he’s ever seen him: "He’s just playing ball now. … That’s how he got here."

Dotson on how the team is moving on from a disappointing 2020 season…
Dotson: "We have a bunch of guys who are ready to prove to the world that the team that played last season was not us."

Dotson responding to a question about his 40-time…
Jahan Dotson on his 40-yard dash: "That was something that I was very focused on getting better at going into my last year here. What really pushed me was guys on the team. I remember when @Kj_hamler was here, he would never let me live down the Minnesota moment…

Dotson on how he as looked in training camp and what other receivers have stood out in camp…
Jahan Dotson says this was his best camp yet. Was focused on consistency and did it. Who else stood out to him this preseason? Soph. KeAndre Lambert-Smith.
"I know he's gonna have a breakout year. He's been making a lot of plays this camp and showing a lot of maturity."

Jahan Dotson says KeAndre Lambert-Smith has stuck out this camp. "He's been making a lot of plays this camp and showing a lot of maturity from last year."

After hearing what Jahan Dotson said, it is clear he is motivated to take things to the next level. This comes as no surprise as Dotson said this offseason he wanted to leave Penn State as one of the legendary players in program history. If he lives up to his own goals, then Penn State should be in for a fun season.
