Penn State coach James Franklin has announced the Nittany Lions’ captains for this season.

Those six players are Jaquan Brisker, Sean Clifford, PJ Mustipher, Jordan Stout, Jonathan Sutherland and Rasheed Walker. All are experienced players.

Senior kicker/punter Jordan Stout was a captain for Penn State last year, as well. He ranked 11th in the B1G in average punt length with 41.6 yards per kick and made 2 of his 5 field goal attempts as a junior.

Defensive tackle PJ Mustipher, safety Jaquan Brisker and offensive lineman Rasheed Walker were all named to All-B1G teams last season, while quarterback Sean Clifford is on the list of captains for the Nittany Lions this season.

Penn State went 4-5 last year and is set to kick off the 2021 season with a big matchup at Wisconsin in Week 1.
