It takes more than just one weakness on a roster for a head coach like James Franklin to get fired just six games into the season a year after going to the College Football Playoff semifinals. But, all the teams across the final years of Franklin’s tenure at Penn State had a similar glaring weakness: wide receiver.
Well, Matt Campbell is seemingly going all-out to rectify that issue. It started with bringing wide receiver coach and passing game coordinator Noah Pauley with him from Iowa State, and has continued with adding Chase Sowell and Brett Eskildsen, Rocco Becht’s top two receivers last season, to the Penn State roster.
