The Penn State Nittany Lions continue to prepare for their Beaver Stadium home opener against Bowling Green.
Penn State safety KJ Winston was named to the preseason watch list for the Bednarik Award, gets into 2025 NFL Draft mocks as a potential first-rounder and was the Big Ten's defensive player of the week after making seven solo tackles and forcing a fumble at West Virginia. Meanwhile, fellow safety Jaylen Reed played the game of his career, jumping on the Mountaineers from the first series."I'm going to make the world feel me," Reed said.
Reed, who plays Penn State's "Lion" position that covers a lot of ground, was everywhere last Saturday. He made nine tackles, broke up two passes, had a tackle for loss and recovered a fumble. And Reed shot himself directly out of the locker room and into the game. On yet another play, Reed drilled West Virginia tight end Kole Taylor so hard he had to remove himself from the game for a play. Though Winston was the Big Ten's defensive player of the week, Reed was the Penn State coaches' defensive player of the game.
"I definitely believe that's kind of what brought some of our back end together and made us such a tight-knit group," Harris said. "I believe it definitely paid off."Tight end Khalil Dinkins, who missed part of training camp with an injury and did not play at West Virginia, was on the practice field Wednesday during the window open to the media.
