Secondary

Grade: A

We said in the offseason this group has the potential to be the best secondary in James Franklin’s tenure with Penn State Football and they have lived up to it to this point.

Joey Porter Jr. continues to look like an early round draft pick with his length and size at corner while safety Jaquan Brisker could be in the All American conversation by seasons end. Brisker has 25 tackles with three pass breakups and two interceptions.

Ji’Ayir Brown has also played very well opposite Brisker at safety and the two make for one of the better safety combinations in the Big Ten. This unit will be especially important when they travel to Columbus to take on Ohio State and their trip of wide receivers.
