Penn State has plenty of elusive, breathtaking athletes.

Wide receiver KJ Hamler is one of them. Hamler runs faster than just about everybody it seems, and in just his second season of actually playing, he has already made some incredible plays as a Nittany Lion.

So far this season, Hamler has caught 10 passes and scored twice in three games. He has one carry for 16 yards. Last season, he scored 6 TDs on 46 touches from scrimmage.

Penn State travels to face Maryland on Friday, Sept. 27. The game will begin at 8 p.m. and will be televised on FS1.
