These Players are Forcing Matt Campbell & Penn State to Change the Depth Chart!

Penn State football has reached the midpoint of August training camp, and several players are changing the outlook of the 2026 roster.

Zach Seyko breaks down the biggest stock risers, led by James Peoples, Alex Manske, Zay Robinson, Josiah Zayas and Penn State's defensive tackles. Has Manske already established himself as the future at quarterback after Rocco Becht? And how will Peoples' emergence impact Carson Hansen and Quinton Martin in a loaded running back room?

Plus, we examine concerns surrounding Karon Brookins, Dominic Rulli and the secondary, the offensive tackle battle involving Malachi Goodman, Garrett Sexton and Owen Aliciene, and which Penn State position groups we're buying, holding and selling entering the final weeks of camp.

Who has impressed you most?
