James Franklin continues to make Penn State as non-White as possible. Since 2005 the number of White starters has been 8, 10, 9, 8, 12, 10, 8, 10, 9, 10, 8, 8, 8, 6, 8, 5, 2, and 4. As of now there are just 3 for the upcoming season.
Quarterback surprisingly remains White even after Sean Clifford moved on to the NFL. Drew Allar is a sophomore from Medina, OH, a five-star recruit who is physically imposing at 6'5" and 243 pounds. Allar played some as a freshman, going 35/60/344/4/0.
After Allar, there's little to be interested in. Hunter Nourzad starts at center while Landon Tengwall is the left guard. The rest of the two-deep at o-line is Black. Second stringer Tyler Warren is the only White TE going four deep.
Shockingly, Liam Clifford is listed as a second string WR. A redshirt sophomore, he had 8 receptions for 89 yards in 2022, so maybe he will eventually be "allowed" to see the field more. He's a three star recruit from Cincinnati.
The two-deep on defense has three overachievers, a bounty by Franklin's standards -- Jordan van den Berg at tackle and Tyler Elsdon and Dominic DeLuca at MLB and SLB respectively.
QB: Drew Allar
