Zombie Nation - Penn State football blog: Roster

FOS released the height/weight and jersey numbers of all this year's freshmen. (HT: BSD) Probably the most interesting, even if the least important, is that Nate Cadogan will wear his brother's No. 76. Check out FOS for the full list.

I'll be updating Zombie Nation's rosters, depth charts, etc. this weekend.

NCAA Football 2010 out today

By Mike

Even if you're not a die-hard video game player, you're probably aware that today is a big day for college football fans, particularly those under the age of 40. EA Sports' NCAA Football 2010 is right now selling in stores, and according to a lot of people at EA (what else would you expect), this year's game finally (as it supposedly does every year) gets it right.

But that's all besides the point.

I noticed that there are a lot of you visiting this site, probably for the first time, in search of NCAA '10 "accessories," like Penn State rosters, depth charts, and most of all, THE BEST custom stadium sounds anywhere for Beaver Stadium.

Well, you've come to the right place. For rosters and depth charts (projected depth chart will be updated again later today), just click on the tabs at the top of this page. And for the most accurate, and best-sounding custom stadium sounds for Penn State, click on the link below and enjoy!

Roster updated for Blue White Game

By Mike

Just a little housekeeping before the big day tomorrow. I've updated what I've been told were some position changes on the roster. So, as far as I know, my current roster (found in the linkbar above, and in the Gameday section on the right) is correct and up to date. Let me know if there are any issues.

Depth chart by eligibility

By Mike

With less than two months until the Blue White Game, we should keep an eye on Penn State's eligibility depth going into the spring workouts. The current junior and senior classes are a bit thin, even if they include some dynamite talent. This bodes well for Penn State over the next three seasons, as it will give the younger players more experience by being higher in the two-deep depth chart. Add in the monster-sized 2009 recruiting class, and there's plenty to go around (and plenty more to redshirt this season). So here is the current Penn State football eligibility chart:

Download .pdf file

Notes: I did not include the incoming freshman class, except for the four grayshirts (Newsome, Howle, Hodges and Fera). The rest of the class will go into the chart once they arrive on campus this summer. For some of the more generic positions, like offensive line and defensive back, I just put some of the guys in places to hold a spot. I'm going by the official roster, where some of the players are simply listed as "OL" instead of a more specific spot like "T" or "G." All players listed on the official roster are accounted for.

Looking at the new football roster

By Mike

ZN's 2009 Penn State Football Preview - Personnel

◊ Penn State has released its official spring 2009 football roster. First off, let's give a big old HT to BSD. Now, let's look at some of the more interesting things about the new roster, mainly, who's sporting new numerals.

Chaz Powell: Old number - 12, New number - 2
The coaching staff wasn't kidding when they said they were going to use Powell like the next Derrick Williams.

Navorro Bowman: Old number - 18, New number - 11
This can't be a coincidence. Bowman is the most physically gifted backer since LaVar. Is an early NFL entry coming, too?

Other switches to note:

Brandon Beachum: Old number - 25, New number - 3
Cedric Jeffries: Old number - 29, New number - 7
Nick Sukay: Old number - 26, New number - 10
Mark Wedderburn:Old number - 86, New number - 13
DeOn'tae Pannell: Old number - 75, New number - 50
Chris Colasanti: Old number - 53, New number 48

Greyshirts (enrolled this spring):

Gerald Hodges: Number 6
Kevin Newsome: Number 12 - Is this number turning into the offensive equivalent of #31? Too early to tell, but fun to consider.
Anthony Fera: Number 29
Ty Howle: Number 53

Also to note, Penn State now has two more quarterbacks. John Kelly (#15) from Frederick, MD, and Shane McGregor (#16) from Ebensburg, PA. Both are listed on their bio pages as redshirt freshmen.

Also also to note, just because it doesn't really mean anything, but is always worth the 10 minute argument, Galen Hall is listed as Asst. Coach, Offense/Running Backs, and Jay Paterno is listed as Asst. Coach, Quarterbacks.
