Surprise Starter Named: Second-Year Penn State DB Wins Strong Safety Battle!

Penn State’s depth chart is coming into focus — and there are some surprises. Host Zach Seyko is joined by Shawn Kane (Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast) to break down the big updates ahead of Nevada.The headline: Antoine Belgrave-Shorter has won the starting strong safety job, edging out King Mack and Dejuan Lane thanks to a strong camp and ball-hawking ability. We also discuss the importance of Devonte Ross, who is dealing with an injury but is expected back for Nevada — and why his speed is vital to Penn State’s offense. Plus, the freshmen updates are in: Chaz Coleman and Darius Dixon have been green-lit, while others like Yvan Kemajou and Koby Howard are close behind.We also dive into what these decisions say about Penn State’s defensive depth, the wide receiver rotation, and which young players could make a difference in a national title run.Check out Shawn's work!X: https://x.com/CitizenKane95Become an every-dayer!
