Penn State news, notes, and updates for Aug. 24 include the program\u2019s preseason camp kings plus practice takeaways and more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to dive into Thursday\u2019s top tweets and headlines about the Nittany Lions and college athletics. <\/p>\n

Penn State tweets of the day<\/h2>\n

We start with the players who were the preseason camp kicks for Penn State. Quarterback Drew Allar<\/a><\/strong> and receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith<\/a><\/strong> led the way with the most touchdowns. It\u2019s encouraging news as the Lions aim to replace their starting quarterback and top pass catcher in 2023. <\/p>\n

On the other side of the ball, first-year linebacker Tony Rojas<\/a><\/strong> and veteran cornerback Daequan Hardy<\/a><\/strong> were tops in the takeaways department. Buzz continues to build for Rojas, who came in and immediately turned heads in spring practice. He built on that this summer and is on track to burn his redshirt as a true freshman.<\/p>\n

In other news, another practice availability is in the books. We learned that redshirt sophomore linebacker Dominic DeLuca<\/a><\/strong> will wear No. 0 this year. He\u2019s the second Lion ever to do so after Jonathan Sutherland was awarded it before the 2020 season. It signifies special teams excellence. <\/p>\n

The big takeaway otherwise is that head coach James Franklin revealed no position battle winners on Wednesday night. Those should come next Tuesday, when the 10th-year leader of the Lions holds his first game week news conference. See the headlines section below for more takeaways and notes from the evening. <\/p>\n

Quote of the day<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe great thing for him is Penn State, better than they have in the last several years, has a proven ability to run the football. Their offensive line is better than they\u2019ve been, and they\u2019ve got some quality running backs. And that can be very, very helpful breaking a young quarterback in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does not have to go out there and sling it around 40 times for them to be in a position to win. And he doesn\u2019t have to make every critical play on third down. So I think just him playing within himself and leaning on what they can do well right now will help him grow.\u201d<\/p>\n
