Penn State opened up its doors to Holuba Hall Tuesday evening for the first practice of the spring. The Nittany Lions are coming off their best season in a few years, winning 11 games and defeating Utah in the Rose Bowl. Now, head coach James Franklin and his team are set for a massive season in 2023.

But before we get to the home opener against West Virginia, Penn State has to get through spring practice. That all began Tuesday night. Fans can check out our photo gallery from photographer Daniel Althouse below.
