Projected Penn State printable depth chart for Week Four
Penn State football no longer provides an official depth chart. So, Blue White Illustrated has taken up the task of projecting one each week. In this case, the Nittany Lions are getting set to host Central Michigan at Beaver Stadium on Saturday. And, we’re anticipating this printable version to come in handy.
Why? With the Chippewas off to a disappointing 1-2 to start the 2022 season, and Penn State determined to provide extensive experience for its depth, the best-case scenario for the Nittany Lions is an early lead.
Whether or not that comes to fruition is to be determined.
Below, take a look at our printable depth chart for a better idea of what that might look like:
Sizing up Penn State vs. Central Michigan
From our Tuesday notebook:
Coming off the start of the season, both for the 3-0 Nittany Lions and 1-2 Chippewas, the gloss-over treatment ahead of this game (from the media, at least) is relatively understandable.
That didn’t prevent Franklin from offering his earliest impressions of what Penn State will be facing this weekend, though.

Franklin picked running back Lew Nichols out first as someone the Nittany Lions have “been impressed” with offensively. He called quarterback Daniel Richardson “undersized” but “very productive.” And, in the passing game, transfer receiver Jalen McGaughy (6-4, 225 from Ball State) wrapped up his players to watch.
On defense, Franklin pointed to defensive end Thomas Incoom (4.5 TFL, 3.0 sacks so far this season). Also, sophomore safety Trey Jones (16 tackles, 1 INT), and sophomore corner Donte Kent (10 tackles, 3 PBU) were his players to watch.
On special teams, punt returner Jordyn Williams was a player Penn State “needs to be aware of.” He has averaged 7.87 yards per attempt on eight chances this season with a long of 25 yards.
