Penn State tweets of the day
Multiple media outlets released their preseason Big Ten predictions on Monday ahead of the start of conference media days later this morning in Indianapolis. Cleveland.com’s preseason poll put Penn State at No. 3, as did the media voting panels at both Kings of the North and USA Today. The latter also polled its network of beat reporters to put together a preseason All-Conference team. Two Penn State players made the cut. Guard Sal Wormley was the Lions’ only selection on offense. And, edge rusher Abdul Carter, who is moving from linebacker to defensive end, made it on defense. The full teams can be seen below courtesy of The Columbus Dispatch:

“Right now, obviously, I think we’re at a critical point in college athletics history as well as college football’s history. You take two of the biggest changes in our industry, maybe ever, and they both happen at the same time, NIL and Transfer Portal, that I think some decisions are gonna have to be made by very intelligent people.”
—PSU coach James Franklin on the Joel Klatt Show.
