Like most true freshmanโ especially at a winning programs like Penn Stateโ Kenny Woseley didnโt play much in 2024.
Being in a CB room that featured players such as A.J. Harris, Jalen Kimber and Cam Miller, it was difficult for Woseley to see much action.
But toward the end of the regular season, Woseley started to show up in the box score.
Against Purdue Nov. 16, he had three tackles. Two weeks later, in the regular-season finale against Maryland at Beaver Stadium, he had two more.
Now, Woseley is another year older. Will that increased experience lead to a bigger role in the secondary?
Height: 5-foot-10
Weight: 180 pounds
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvaniaย
Before Penn State:ย Woseley came to Penn State after a standout career at Phillyโs famous ย Imhotep Charter High School. As a senior, he helped Imhotep to a perfect 15-0 record and state championship. He ended that season with 23 tackles, six interceptions and seven pass breakups. The year before, he had 20 tackles, five tackles for loss, a sack, two fumble recoveries, 10 pass breakups, a punt block and two touchdowns.
A four-star recruit, Woseley committed to Penn State in March 2023.
Last year:ย Woseley played in four games as a true freshman, posting the aforementioned stats against Purdue and Maryland.
Where he stands:ย Even with Kimber gone, Penn State still has a strong CB room, with Harris at the forefront. To get playing time, Woseley will have to compete with players such as Elliot Washington, Audavion Collins and true freshman Daryus Dixson.
A quote by Woseley:ย โI think my physicality, my IQ and my technique. I think that those three things at corner are the biggest because you have to react to certain things, and if you donโt react on time, bad stuff can happen. Just watching a lot of film, watching stuff that happens in college football and the NFL. Being a student of the game.โ โ Woseley to Nittany Sports Now in December 2023
A quote about Woseley:ย โHeโs super versatile. Also, heโs very coachable. Thereโs not a lot of kids in this game, at this young age, that are coachable. Kenny is the type of player who can make a mistake and forget about it. Itโs on to the next play, the next play heโll be greater than the lastโฆ and heโs a leader.โ โ Former Imhotep and current Penn State teammate Tyseer Denmark
