With most of the 2024 recruiting class on campus for Penn State football, many players are competing and training for Spring Ball. This leads to jersey numbers being updated for the newest Nittany Lions that arrived in Happy Valley this January as early enrollees or out of the transfer portal. Although these are released now, this does not indicate that these are the final numbers that we will see this fall but it’s what they will start their Penn State football career with in the offseason.
