Harrison Wallace has a big game against West Virginia, showcases why he can be teams top receiver

The first game of Penn State has come and gone, and players like Drew Allar, Nicholas Singleton, and the Penn State defense as a whole, passed their first test. One player particularly stood out, especially in the first half was Penn State wide receiver Harrison Wallace III.

One of the biggest questions in the offseason for Penn State was its wide receiver corps and who could potentially step up as the teams top receiver. There was a lot of buzz surrounding incoming transfer Julian Fleming, but Harrison Wallace has already proved he could be that guy as long as he stays healthy. Against West Virginia, he showcased that ability.

On the Nittany Lion's opening scoring drive, Drew Allar hooked up with Harrison Wallace on several occasions, including a pass that went for a 50-yard touchdown. Wallace took it for pay dirt, using his exceptional speed to separate himself from the defender.

That quick burst is something Wallace acknowledges to be one of the most important aspects of the game, "Being explosive is one of the most important statistics in the game. It's just something that the receivers is what were going to have to do consistently to go where we want to go this year"

Right before the end of the first half, Allar connected with Wallace for another touchdown. Wallace made a great adjustment to the pass for a catch over the back shoulder to put the Nittany Lions up two touchdowns.

Wallace further stated after the game "I just got to stay consistent and keep working in practice pushing myself, pushing the receiver room just so we can all get better at the same time."

As long as Harrison Wallace continues to stay consistent and healthy, he should have no trouble being not only productive but maintaining his fixture as the top receiver for Penn State.
