Penn State football spring roster update: Which Lions added, lost weight on offense?
Penn State football finished winter workouts on Friday. The grueling seven-week process aims to change each player’s body in a way that will best help him compete for playing time come spring practice and eventually the 2023 season.
Not every plan is the same, of course. But, as head strength coach Chuck Losey noted on Thursday, every member of the roster has a tailored approach to their offseason. That goes for injured players, as well.
“Everybody’s a full participant,” Losey said. “It just depends on what degree. This thing is so finely tuned by the time [we start that] we know exactly what we’re getting at the beginning of these seven weeks. We know who’s got any type of soft tissue injury or some type of surgical return to play. I mean, they’re just on a different program. But it’s still full go depending on what they can do.
