Penn State Football's Top 10 Greatest Players of All Time Ranked!

Who is the greatest Penn State football player of all time? On this special Locked On Nittany Lions episode, Zach Seyko ranks the top 10 Penn State football players ever and breaks down the case for Saquon Barkley, John Cappelletti, LaVar Arrington, Kerry Collins, Ki-Jana Carter, Paul Posluszny, Jack Ham and more. This Penn State football countdown covers the biggest names in program history, including the Linebacker U legends, the 1994 undefeated Rose Bowl team, the 1982 and 1986 national championship eras, Saquon Barkley’s electric career, John Cappelletti’s Heisman Trophy legacy, and the toughest honorable mention debates involving Trace McSorley, Todd Blackledge, Larry Johnson, Bobby Engram, Dan Connor, Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. This debate matters because Penn State fans all value different things: stats, awards, championships, fan memories, NFL careers, college dominance, and overall impact on the university. So who belongs at No. 1 — Saquon Barkley or John Cappelletti? Drop your top 10 Penn State football players of all time in the comments. Who did Zach rank too high, too low, or leave off completely?
