Penn State coach James Franklin and the Nittany Lions discuss their playoff hopes at Big Ten Football Media Days.
Coaches and players from coast to coast are in Indianapolis for the 2024 Big Ten Football Media Days, a three-day event that begins Tuesday at Lucas Oil Stadium. James Franklin and his accompanying trio of Penn State football players — defensive tackle Dvon J-Thomas , safety Jaylen Reed and tight end Tyler Warren — are scheduled to meet the media Wednesday.
The Nittany Lions have expanded their recruiting territory to states such as California, Kansas and Arkansas this cycle but also have strayed from dominating the state. Franklin will likely be asked whether this is intentional with an expanding conference or if there’s another reason for the recent slip.The initial work of Penn State’s $700 million renovation of Beaver Stadium, set for completion in 2027, has begun.
Even with the departure of defensive coordinator Manny Diaz and arrival of Tom Allen, the Nittany Lions’ defense is loaded and should be among the nation’s best this season. For a second consecutive year, though, all eyes are on the offense — specifically the wide receivers — to carry Penn State to its first playoff appearance.
