Running back John Lovett, who transferred to Penn State from Baylor, has drawn the attention of coach Ja'Juan Seider several times.

Receivers coach Taylor Stubblefield noted the performance of veteran Daniel George.

Tight ends coach Ty Howle had plenty of praise recently for redshirt freshman Theo Johnson, who has thrived in the workouts as well.

Offensive line coach Phil Trautwein took notice of guard Bryce Effner, who could figure into an interior rotation next season.

As he continues getting up to speed with the roster, new safeties coach Anthony Poindexter highlighted the work of freshman walk-on Dominic DeLuca.

Keaton Ellis continues to advance under cornerbacks coach Terry Smith.
