August brings the start of fall camp for Penn State football, leading to plenty of storylines for the current team and recruiting. 

August may be the most hectic month of the year for Penn State football.

Recruiting is still in the forefront, but it is joined by the preparation for the regular season. The majority of the staff’s attention rightfully turns to the current team as they look to bounce back after two rough seasons.

There is a lot of pressure on this year’s team because the 11-11 record over the past two seasons is not acceptable for Penn State football. This needs to be one of the best fall camps James Franklin has had at Penn State.

Recruiting doesn’t stop though, as the Nittany Lions need to fill holes at quarterback, wide receiver and offensive tackle.

With all this going on, let’s take a look at give things Penn State football fans should keep an eye on this month.
