Penn State's Depth Chart Is Taking Shape — Here's Who Won Training Camp

Penn State's depth chart is finally taking shape after training camp, with major position battles becoming much clearer across the offense, defense and special teams.

Zach Seyko breaks down why Alex Manske has separated himself as Rocco Becht's backup, how Carson Hansen and James Peoples could function as co-starters, and why Penn State may legitimately have seven wide receivers ready to contribute. We also project the offensive line, examine Penn State's surprisingly deep defensive front, explain why Tony Rojas may be the defense's most irreplaceable player, and sort through the battles at punter and returner.

Which depth-chart projection do you agree with—and which one changes once Penn State takes the field against Marshall?
