The Penn State Players Matt Campbell Kept — And Why They're About to Matter
Description
Penn State's 2026 roster is a blend of two programs. Matt Campbell and his staff made hard choices this offseason — and the players they chose to keep are now in line for bigger roles than ever. Thomas Frank Carr, Nate Bauer and Sean Fitz each name their top three breakout candidates from the retained Penn State roster, plus an interview with On3's Andy Staples on the Campbell transition, the offense and a potential 24-team playoff.
