Regarding the receivers, Penn State head coach James Franklin provided some level of insight into where the unit currently stands and where it’s heading when meeting with reporters last week.
“We talked a lot in the preseason about that question mark and that position, and we have felt like we’ve had the talent in that room but it needed to be developed, and they needed to run with it, and they have,” said Franklin. “I also will give Julian credit because I do think coming into that room, he has brought some maturity into that room. He’s brought competition into that room. Sometimes you’re going into the transfer portal to fill a hole. Sometimes you’re going into the transfer portal to create more competition, to bring out some of the confidence in the personality and the competitiveness in the room that you need, and you’ve got to embrace that. I think Julian has done that in that way, as well. His work ethic is second-to-none and I think that’s showed up, as well, and I think that’s helped the room.
“To me, it’s exciting because we are adding more pieces to that room. But we feel like the foundation is finally in a place where we can win at the highest level, and it’s only going to get better. And those guys, again, they have got more games this season, and they have got more games in their future, and I think you’re going to see a bunch of draft choices come out of that room. I think there’s going to be some surprises this year, as well. So I think that’s probably something that has not been talked about enough is the development and the growth of our wide receiver room and that’s a credit to those kids and that’s a credit to the coaches.”
