Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player’s background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
Next up is safety Patrick Williams, another redshirt sophomore adding some depth to the roster. The redshirt sophomore did not see the field the past two seasons for the Nittany Lions but hopes to find ways to contribute if needed entering the 2024 season.

Patrick Williams has not appeared in any games for Penn State over the past two seasons. He will have three years of eligibility left.
Depth Chart Overview
Hanover Evening Sun
Patrick Williams finds himself deeply buried within a loaded Penn State secondary. Starters Kevin Winston Jr. and Jaylen Reed seem locked into the two starting safety positions.
Zakee Wheatley and DaKaari Nelson also seem poised to make a jump this season. Williams will provide some more depth on the roster and be given more time to be developed before being tasked with playing a more significant role on the field.
