Pretty thorough article on PSU's 2025 oline......

JJ caught a long pass in the Rose bowl against Oregon, if I'm remembering correctly.
If your memory is correct, it was his only catch of the season. After the top two, the next highest catch total for WRs was 3 and was shared by Chris Campbell and Phil Collins. Kyle Brady was outstanding at TE, and the backs were used extensively in the passing game.
 
Rucci made great strides down the stretch. It will be interesting to see how he does in the S&C program between now and the BW game. At his height he is better off getting up to 325. We all probably have the opposite problem, but it’s not easy to consistently maintain that type of extreme weight required on the OLine.

Rucci was by far the worst OL against ND. I think his PFF grade was in the low 40s if I remember correctly. Rucci is a great player to have in case Donkoh can't stay healthy next year but he's depth not a starter.

I'd be shocked if the OL wasn't Shelton-Vega-Dawkins-Cousins-Donkoh at least to start. Donkoh's potential is just so much higher than Rucci's...add to that we play Nevada, FIU and Nova to get Donkoh up to speed--if he doesn't look good or can't stay healthy they go back to Rucci for Oregon

I knew a couple years ago. They would eat just before going to bed. Get up at 4:00 AM and eat more. Then huge breakfast.

Just a crazy amount of food. With advanced nutrition and supplements they probably have a better, healthier routine.
