Penn State revealed updated uniform numbers for some new members of the program and three returning players

Penn State officially welcomes some of its newest members f the program to campus recently as the academic calendar moves from the spring semester to the summer. So naturally, that led to some players getting their first jersey numbers with the football program.

Here are the numbers six new players will be wearing with the Nittany Lions in 2022;

  • 8 – [autotag]Tyler Johnson[/autotag], wide receiver
  • 13 – [autotag]Christian Driver[/autotag], safety
  • 64 – [autotag]Hunter Nourzad[/autotag], offensive lineman
  • 66 – [autotag]Drew Shelton[/autotag], offensive tackle
  • 97 – [autotag]Alex Bacchetta[/autotag], punter

Penn State still has some uniform numbers to distribute as a few more additions will be joining the program later this summer as well. In addition to these new numbers for new players, Penn State also updated the uniform numbers for three returning players.

Quarterback [autotag]Christain Veilleux[/autotag] is now wearing No. 11, [autotag]KeAndre Lambert-Smith[/autotag] is wearing No. 1, and offensive lineman [autotag]Nick Dawkins[/autotag] will wear No. 53, the number his father Daryll Dawkins wore in the NBA.

Update: 2022 four-star S Christian Driver will no longer visit campus this weekend

Class of 2022 four-star safety Christian Driver reversed course last night after initially announcing that he would be visiting Wisconsin’s

Class of 2022 four-star safety Christian Driver reversed course last night after initially announcing that he would be visiting Wisconsin’s campus this weekend.

Christian Driver, son of Packer wide receiver Donald Driver, is the No. 207 player in the class of 2022, No. 12 safety and No. 35 recruit from his home state of Texas.

With the Wisconsin visit no longer on the table, Penn State is seen as the prohibitive favorite to land the safety.

It is unknown whether this change of course has to do with the recent turnover in the Wisconsin recruiting department, though the program’s slow start in the class is crystal-clear at this point in the summer.
