Penn State Football: 10 storylines that will define Nittany Lions’ 2021 season

7. Penn State Football’s returners

This Penn State Football team has plenty of options at both kick and punt return.

Starting with kick return .. .could one of the running backs, such as Devyn Ford, get a chance at returns being that the running back room is so loaded?

Ourlads even has Jaquan Brisker as a potential option to return kicks. Although, it is hard to imagine Franklin would want to risk injuring possibly his best defensive player to return kicks.

At punt returner, Jahan Dotson is probably the best option, but will he be out there for every single punt return opportunity being that he will be the number one target at wide receiver? Dotson had a nice punt return for a touchdown against Michigan State last season. Fellow wide receiver Parker Washington may also have his chance to showcase his skills at punt return. Marquis Wilson may also be an option to return at some point, as he is incredibly quick and athletic.

Penn State Football has a plethora of guys who can make something happen with the ball in their hands that could be options to return kicks and/or punts, it will be fun to see what they can do in those situations.
