Most of the new-look Penn State football team was on hand when the Nittany Lions welcomed special visitors to Lasch Building and Holuba Hall for the program’s annual THON Explorers event Saturday. That included a ton of NCAA Transfer Portal additions and true freshmen, whose jersey numbers had yet to be officially revealed as of this writing.
So after churning out a ton of content about the heartwarming afternoon, including a recap of the goings-on as well as a photo gallery, we are now turning our attention to the jersey numbers. This second gallery features photos of the new players — and there were a lot of them — rocking their new digits.
Of course you will see most of the Iowa State transfers who followed head coach Matt Campbell to Happy Valley, including QB Rocco Becht, TE Benjamin Brahmer, OL Trevor Buhr, LB Caleb Bacon and S Marcus Neal. There are transfers from other schools, too, like former Colorado DE Alexander McPherson and former Oklahoma State DL Armstrong Nnodim.
And there are true freshmen, like QBs Peyton Falzone and Kase Evans, and DL Jackson Ford. Please note that not every single new face was at the event, and things were so spread out that we could not possibly shoot everyone who was on hand.
So don’t panic if you don’t see someone. We’ll have plenty of time in the coming months to introduce you to every new man in the program. Enjoy the gallery.
