Penn State spring football preview: Wide receivers and tight ends

Who will be the wide receivers and tight ends to watch in Penn State spring football practices this year?

Malik McClain

Tallahassee Democrat

Measurables: 6’4″, 202 lb

Year: Junior

Expected role: Possible starting wide receiver, solid contributor

One of Penn State’s transfer additions at receiver is with the team this spring. [autotag]Malik McClain[/autotag], previously of Florida State, brings plenty of talent to win a starting job in the offense and he will certainly be a player to watch. McClain had 17 receptions for 206 yards and three touchdowns for the Seminoles in 2022, and he could work his way into a solid role with the Nittany Lions either as a starter or a significant contributor in a variety of offensive packages.

McClain is one of two key receivers added to the program from the transfer portal this offseason, but he is the only one currently enrolled. Dante Cephas, from Kent State, is expected to be a starter but will join the program after the spring semester.
