The college football season is less than a month away, so with everyone's football fever rising, many people use this time to make lists of players, coaches, and teams. A lot of those lists have been favorable to Penn State, like the US LBM Coaches Poll and On3 Sports' AP Poll projection.
One of the latest rankings released by Bruce Feldman of The Athletic highlighted the Nittany Lions once again. Feldman ranked the 101-best athletes in college football heading into 2026 and his list included three Penn State players. This is a significant distinction in itself, but having a wide receiver on the list might be the most notable aspect.
Feldman has been putting out this list every year since 2005 and Penn State has never had a wideout make it. Well, Brett Eskildsen comes over from Iowa State and looks to make an immediate impact on the receiver room after coming in at No. 35 on this list. After playing sparingly in 2024, he improved tremendously and had 526 yards and five touchdowns last year with the Cyclones.
We don't get many twitchy athletes come through Happy Valley at Eskildsen's position, so this will be a welcome sight. He has a chance to become a fan favorite if he can build off his successful 2025 season.
Tony Rojas is primed for a big season and everyone knows it. The coaching staff has been talking him up all summer and he has been labeled as one of the few players in college football who has a real chance to break out this season.
