Penn State Football wide receivers

Parker Washington and Mitchell Tinsley are virtual locks to be two of the starting wide receivers, with KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Malick Meiga battling for the final starting spot. Lambert-Smith is a returning starter and should have the upper hand, but don’t completely rule out Meiga just yet.

True freshman Kaden Saunders has the ability to make an impact right away, but with him being best suited to play in the slot, he likely won’t see much time this season, as Washington has that spot wrapped up and won’t come off the field very often.

Harrison Wallace has been impressive throughout the offseason, likely earning himself a backup role where he could see some occasional playing time throughout each game.

Liam Clifford likely won’t see a ton of meaningful snaps this season, but fingers crossed that he has the opportunity to catch a pass from his brother as some point throughout the year.

Projected depth chart:

1. Parker Washington

2. Kaden Saunders

3. Liam Clifford

1. Mitchell Tinsley

2. Harrison Wallace

3. Omari Evans

1. KeAndre Lambert-Smith

2. Malick Meiga

3. Jaden Dottin
