Penn State Nittany Lions College Football Preview 2021: Top Players
Best Penn State Nittany Lions Offensive Player
WR Jahan Dotson, Sr.
The senior deep threat has been making big things happen from the start of his career. He’s got the speed to keep pushing secondaries, but he also took his game up a few notches as a go-to receiver with a team-high 52 catches for 884 yards and eight scores.
He’s not huge and he’s not all that physical, but the 5-11, 184-pounder can move, averaging over 17 yards per catch. Now he needs the ball in his hands even more.
2. OT Rasheed Walker, Jr.
3. C/OG Mike Miranda, Sr.
4. WR Parker Washington, Soph.
5. RB John Lovett, Sr.

Best Penn State Nittany Lions Defensive Player
S Jaquan Brisker, Sr.
The former JUCO transfer stepped into the 2019 defense and made 31 tackles with two picks in his first season, and last year he started to take over with 57 stops with three tackles for loss and an interception with five broken up passes.
He’s 6-1, 204 pounds and can get all over the field – he’s an emerging NFL prospect who should work his way into a top 50 pick.
2. LB Brandon Smith, Jr.
3. CB Tariq Castro-Fields, Sr.
4. DT PJ Mustipher, Sr.
5. DE Arnold Ebiketie, Sr.
Top Incoming Penn State Nittany Lions Transfer
RB John Lovett, Sr.
Penn State was already crazy-deep at running back, and then it added a four-year producer who ran for over 1,800 yards and 17 touchdowns for Baylor. He can catch, he has a home run burst, and he’s got the ability and potential to rise above the pack and be a dangerous force who makes the most of his 7-to-11 touches per game.
