While Penn State Football lost a lot of production at receiver and all over the field on defense, they also return many players who have put up great numbers in the past. So, who will lead the 2022 team in some of the common statistical categories?

The passing categories should be obvious, but what about rushing? The running back room seems to be wide open at this point, so who will lead the team in yards and touchdowns?

Despite the loss of Jahan Dotson, two highly productive wideouts will battle it out to lead the squad in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

Finally on defense, last year’s leaders in every category except for interceptions are gone, so who takes over for them in 2022?

Here is our prediction at who will be the statistical leaders for Penn State Football for the 2022 campaign.
