## Resource

Penn State football features more than 50 new players, so there is still much to learn regarding who is primed to step up on Saturdays this fall. Considering depth chart ascensions and potential production spikes, we make a case for several “breakout“ candidates. From program veterans who remained on campus after a coaching change to transfer portal pickups, there are several possibilities to spotlight. Audience questions are also under consideration.
