Penn State football roster update: Which Nittany Lions changed their bodies before the 2024 season?
Penn State football updated its roster for the final time before the 2024 season begins on Monday. The Nittany Lions list new weights for numerous players ahead of Saturday’s opener at West Virginia. Kickoff is set for Noon ET on FOX.
While many members of head coach James Franklin’s team changed their bodies over the summer, no one jumps off the list quite like freshman receiver Tyseer Denmark. Angling for a role in year one despite not enrolling until the summer, the 5-foot-10 Philadelphia native is up 10 pounds from 177 to 187.
