In the latest sign that football season is drawing near, Penn State coach James Franklin gave his first weekly Monday press conference of the 2025 season.
The main gist of the press conference was position battles.
Who will be Drew Allar’s backup quarterback? Who will start at safety opposite Zakee Wheatley? How many offensive linemen does Penn State see as starting material?
Franklin gave insight into all of those questions, plus more, in Monday’s presser.
He also gave an update on a key Penn State player who was banged up throughout the summer, but is “ready to go” now. Additionally, Franklin talked about which true freshmen are “greenlighted” to play right away and which are close to getting that green light.
Watch it all right here.
