Penn State athletics received another $10 million donation toward the $700-million renovation of Beaver Stadium on Tuesday. The donor chose to remain anonymous. It marks the third eight-figure gift the athletic department has received for the project over the past two weeks. Other gifts the university has received toward the renovation include another $10 million…

There was a collective happiness among the leaders of Penn State’s athletic department on Monday morning. That’s when athletic director Pat Kraft announced to the group that his contract had been extended through 2032. Kraft is now set to make $2.26 million annually, a sum that the university already feels comfortable with just three years…

There’s a play that will always stick with Penn State’s Tony Rojas. There he was near the line of scrimmage, knees bent and prepared to tackle the UMass running back running toward him. What appeared to be a surefire stop for Rojas ended in anything but, as the ball carrier trucked him backwards and picked…

Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton led the running backs through drills at Tuesday’s practice. It’s as they’ve done for each of the past three seasons.

Next week’s edition will be strictly preparation for the Aug. 31 season opener at West Virginia. And with the campaign approaching, the Nittany Lions offered a bit more than usual at Tuesday’s viewing window. That…

Sander Sahaydak had a golden opportunity. The months of competition had seemingly paid off as he entered last year’s season opener as Penn State’s priority placekicker. Then he attempted two field goals and missed them both. He didn’t attempt another in 2023. Now in another preseason battle, Sahaydak is once again a front-runner for the…
