Penn State football is set to rely on true freshmen, particularly safety Dejuan Lane and tight end Luke Reynolds, in light of injuries to key players. Lane is expected to step up significantly against Kent State, as star safety KJ Winston remains sidelined. Meanwhile, Texas quarterback Arch Manning was named Southeastern Conference Co-Freshman of the Week after a stellar performance against UTSA, marking a historic achievement for a freshman QB at Texas. In contrast, Clemson's Cade Klubnik is still developing but is attracting interest from recruits like Mason Holtzclaw, impressed by the team's offensive potential. The Pittsburgh Panthers' Eli Holstein has gained recognition as the best freshman QB in the nation after leading a comeback win against West Virginia, solidifying his position as a critical player for the team. With these young players making headlines, the dynamics of college football continue to evolve as the season progresses.
