Penn State makes adjustments to football analyst staff

Will this staff change help improve Penn State’s passing game in 2024?

As Penn State continues to go through the relatively early stages of the offseason, the football staff continues to see some adjustments made to prepare for the 2024 season. After replacing all three coordinator roles this offseason, Penn State has reportedly made a couple of changes with its staff of analysts.

According to a report from 247Sports, Penn State has added [autotag]Mark Dupois[/autotag] asn an offensive analyst and parted ways with [autotag]Calvin Lowry[/autotag], who had been an offensive analyst.

Dupois is returning to the Penn State staff after following former offensive coordinator Ricky Rahne to Old Dominion when Rahne accepted an offer to become a head coach a few years ago. Dupois was a graduate assistant in his first stint at Penn State and took on the role of wide receivers coach with Old Dominion.

Lowry is a former Penn State safety and came to Penn State’s staff a year ago. Prior to his return to Penn State in a staff role Lowry was a wide receivers coach at Tulsa.

Penn State was a disappointment with its passing offense last season, especially at the wide receiver position. The hope here should be that Dupois will help the wide receivers take a big stride forward with video and analytical breakdowns off the field. The hiring of offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki is expected to help revive the passing game almost immediately, as will the addition of Julian Fleming from the transfer portal.

Penn State adds another analyst to the football staff

Penn State adds special teams analyst to staff from Auburn

Penn State head coach [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag] had an analyst role to fill on his staff after seeing Ken Whisenhunt move on to a similar role with Alabama this week. It appears that the vacancy has been filled. Eric Sachse, a former Boise State kicker who most recently was serving as an analyst with Auburn, was confirmed to be the latest addition to the support staff for the football program.

Sachse will be the second special teams analyst for Penn State to help assist special teams coordinator Stacy Collins, who also has a previous stop at Boise State in his coaching career. Collins and Sachse did not overlap their time with the Boise State program, however. Penn State’s other special teams analyst is Eric Raisbeck.

Sachse spent one season at Boise State after four years at a Division 3 school, Trinity College. At Boise State, Sachse converted 14 of 17 field goal attempts and connected on 61 of his 62 extra point attempts for the Broncos in 2019.

Other analysts on Penn State’s support staff include [autotag]Deion Barnes[/autotag], [autotag]Dan Connor[/autotag], [autotag]Gabe Infante[/autotag], [autotag]Calvin Lowry[/autotag], [autotag]Frank Leonard[/autotag], [autotag]Rick Lyster[/autotag], [autotag]Danny O’Brien[/autotag], [autotag]Danny Rocco[/autotag], and [autotag]Charles Walker[/autotag].
