Every August, Penn State updates its online roster to reflect weight changes before a new season kicks off. The latest information dropped on Tuesday, four days before James Franklin’s team faces Nevada at Beaver Stadium. The Nittany Lions’ last published updates were in late June. They reflected differences between early February and then. You can see those here.
