Penn State football is just over six weeks away from opening its season against Nevada in Beaver Stadium — and under three weeks away from the beginning of fall camp.
With practice approaching quickly, the Nittany Lions are working on getting in position to have success on the field by developing off it physically through the program’s strength and conditioning. Penn State opened up a workout Monday afternoon featuring both offensive and defensive linemen, as well as the team’s linebackers. That includes key players like defensive tackle Zane Durant, defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton and offensive tackle Drew Shelton.
Here’s an inside look at the workout in the weight room at the Lasch Football Building.
