Nittany Lions Healthy and Ready | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Nittany Lions are hitting full stride as fall camp nears, with Coach Campbell thrilled to report key players cleared and ready to roll. Redshirt freshman QB Alex Manske, who transferred from Iowa State and faced a medical scare, is now fully cleared and primed to compete for the backup role behind Rocco Becht. Manske’s return, confirmed by June and cleared by July, means he’s already throwing in summer workouts. Beyond Manske, standout returnees include QB Rocco Becht, linebacker Tony Rojas (back from torn ACL), and OL Anthony Donkoh — all healthy and energized. Tight end Andrew Rappleyea, who missed spring with a lower-body injury, is also in top shape. Other key players like Cooper, Burkle, and Tatsch — recovering from ACLs and other setbacks — are targeting the Sept. 5 opener against Marshall, with Burkle reportedly ahead in rehab and poised to be a major weapon. Campbell called the tight end group the team’s strongest position. With a productive offseason focused on health and readiness, the Lions are in great shape as the season fast approaches.
