Penn State photos: See Tyseer Denmark, Max Granville, and other Nittany Lions in action
STATE COLLEGE — Penn State football held its third practice of preseason camp on Saturday. It was the Nittany Lions’ first in pads as head coach James Franklin’s team is now full steam ahead toward its opener at West Virginia on Aug. 31 (Noon, FOX).
“We going into day three of practice,” Franklin said earlier in the day at the team’s local media day. “The first two days have been good. Specifically, day two was better than day one. And today obviously is the first day for pads for us and some hitting, so that obviously changes some things. Having the three new coordinators that are really good, put a ton of work in, put in the time, got on board with the staff getting everybody on the same page and with the players. That’s been good. A ton of carryover from things that we’ve done in the past, but also a lot of new wrinkles and things like that. So it’s been really good.”
Check out our photos from practice number three below.
Penn State newcomers put on the pads for the first time
Our cameras captured four Nittany Lion newcomers. Penn State welcomed linebacker Anthony Speca, defensive end Mylachi Williams, and receiver Tyseer Denmark to campus earlier this summer. Then, just last week, it brought Class of 2025 recruit and defensive end Max Granville into preseason camp after he reclassified into the Class of 2024.
“He’s already flashed in the first two days: Athletic, quick, a lot of things you saw on the high school tape but you don’t know if those things are going to show up when they get here but that’s already happened,” Franklin said of Granville. “He also tested really well with our baseline testing with Coach Losey and that staff, as soon as he was cleared and able to do that. So far, first impression, really good. But obviously there’s a big difference between running around in shorts and a tee shirt than there is in full pads.”
