Key Player – KeAndre Lambert-Smith (wide receiver)

KeAndre Lambert-Smith will likely be the third starter at wide receiver for this Penn State Football game, and he will play an important role.

With so much attention to be focused on Jahan Dotson and Parker Washington, who both had great seasons in 2020, that should give Lambert-Smith opportunities to make plays. If he can emerge as a solid number three option, that would make it very difficult for opposing defenses to stop all three of Penn State’s receivers.

Additionally, it gives Sean Clifford another reliable target to look to, so that he does not have to force throws to his first couple of options.

He showed flashes of potential last season, but if KeAndre Lambert-Smith can break through and become a reliable number three receiver, it could really help solidify the passing attack for this Penn State Football team.
