BWI Daily Two-A-Days: Penn State Cornerback season preview

To prepare Penn State football fans for the 2022 season, the BWI Daily edition pulls two-a-days to preview each positional group. Today, they conclude their look at the team by focusing the spotlight on the cornerbacks. Then, host Thomas Frank Carr and senior editor Nate Bauer break down the position and preview which players will make an impact for penn State this fall. They start with a look at the three starters. Veteran cornerbacks Joey Porter Jr and Daequan Hardy pair with sophomore Kalen King to form one of the most talented groups in recent memory for Penn State. They discuss the heights this group can achieve before T-Frank asks if we’ve seen enough from King to assure he’ll take a second-year leap. He also wants to know if the group is good enough to carry the defense if they have to. With questions at other positions up front, the secondary may be on an island at times this fall. Next, Bauer and T-Frank discuss the depth players behind King and Porter on the perimeter of the defense. Johnny Dixon and Marquis Wilson provide veteran depth, which T-Frank is high on. Was Wilson’s year away from cornerback, when he played receiver, detrimental to his development? Bauer and T-Frank debate that before moving on to the X-Factor for the group. Before wrapping up the show by looking at the freshmen on the roster, T-Frank and Nate give their stock up/stock down predictions.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
