What will you be doing in two months? Watching Penn State football. That’s what.
The countdown to kickoff for Penn State continues as we are now just eight Saturdays away from seeing the Nittany Lions kickoff the 2021 season on the road in a challenging Big Ten opener in Madison, Wisconsin against the Wisconsin Badgers. And if the summer momentum is any indication, Penn State could be preparing for a big bounceback season in 2021.
Penn State’s recruiting has been cruising its way up the national recruiting rankings lately. This week saw Penn State climb as high as No. 2 in the national recruiting rankings. That’s in large part to having a brilliant July 4th weekend with commitment after commitment after commitment after commitment. That was followed by a key in-state commitment from running back Nicholas Singleton. The commitment frenzy led one member of Penn State’s loaded Class of 2022 to brag about Penn State’s recruiting efforts and jab the beats that is Ohio State just a bit.
It’s all in good fun though, right?
Penn State’s top players being recognized
It’s preseason time in college football, with all-conference lists and top player lists turning out left and right. Sporting News recognized wide receiver Jahan Dotson as a first-team All-American, and Pro Football Focus listed safety Jaquan Brisker among their top 50 players in college football entering the 2021 season.
Micah Parsons is gonna be a star
Former Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons is getting settled in with his new team, the Dallas Cowboys. And with the HBO series Hard Knocks set to profile the Cowboys, one Dallas-based sportswriter says Parsons is going to be one of the top stories to follow on the docuseries.
In the meantime, the countdown to Penn State’s 2021 season opener continues.
