Penn State spring camp already delivered a major storyline, and it starts at quarterback. With Alex Manske out for spring and Rocco Becht returning from shoulder surgery, the Nittany Lions suddenly have a very thin QB room heading into a crucial development period. In this episode of Locked On Nittany Lions, Zach breaks down the latest on Penn State’s quarterback depth chart, why Connor Berry’s role suddenly matters more, and what he saw from true freshmen Payton Falzone and Case Evans. He also gives an early read on the running back room, explaining why Carson Hansen and James Peoples look like Penn State’s top 1A/1B duo and why Quinton Martin and Cam Wallace are battling for the next wave of snaps.
