Description: Penn State true freshman Chaz Coleman has gone from late commit to potential future first-round NFL Draft pick in just a few months. Host Zach Seyko explains why Coleman is already in Penn State’s defensive end rotation, how his basketball background translates into unique pass-rush moves, and why he’s following a trajectory similar to Abdul Carter.We also highlight other breakout Nittany Lions:- Luke Reynolds becoming Drew Allar’s go-to checkdown target at tight end.- Xavier Gilliam stepping up at defensive tackle alongside Zane Durant and Alonzo Ford.- Zion Tracy flying under the radar as a turnover-making slot corner.- Cooper Cousins & TJ Shanahan giving Penn State seven starting-caliber offensive linemen.Plus, how Penn State’s defensive line depth looks much stronger than expected after early injuries.Become an every-dayer!
