Wide Receiver

Wide Receiver: Jahan Dotson (JR) – Cam Sullivan Brown (RS JR) – Malick Meiga (FR)

Wide Receiver: Keandre Lambert-Smith (FR) – Daniel George (RS SO) – Liam Clifford (FR)

Wide Receiver: Parker Washington (FR) – Isaac Lutz (RS SR) – Lonnie White Jr. (FR)

Penn State Football features one of the best wide receiver tandems in all of college football with Jahan Dotson and Parker Washington.

The return of Dotson for a final season was a huge boost for the offense as he will pair with Washington who will look to build on a stellar freshman campaign.

The player to watch for is Lambert-Smith who some within the program feel like is a better prospect than Washington even, he just needs to prove it. The emergence of a third threat in new offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich’s spread attack could make the Nittany Lions offense elite.

The 2021 recruiting class was a disappointment in many ways for Franklin but the wideouts from this incoming class could play a huge role in this offense next season. Look for Lonnie White Jr and Liam Clifford, the brother of quarterback Sean Clifford to have an impact next fall.

Yurcich’s spread, air-raid attack should be beneficial to this group, look for major numbers to be put up by Dotson and Washington. This is the best wide receiving corps since 2016 for Penn State Football.
