KJ Hamler is a huge part of Penn State’s explosive offense, and head coach James Franklin recently discussed the importance of getting him the ball.
Hamler’s full skillset was on display in last week’s 59-0 rout against Maryland. He pulled in six catches for 108 yards and one incredible touchdown.

During his Wednesday press conference, Franklin admitted that it is one of his goals to get Hamler the ball as much as possible. He wouldn’t even mind getting Hamler about 30 catches a game because good things happen when Penn State gets the ball to its playmakers.
The Daily Collegian shared Franklin’s comments:
JF on KJ Hamler: “More, more, more. If he could get 30 catches that would be great… obviously the more our playmakers can touch the ball the better. The good thing for us is we have a bunch of guys who can do that.”
