Five Penn State Second-Year Players Who Could Breakout in 2025 Revealed

As the 2025 college football season approaches, Penn State finds itself with a blend of experienced veterans and promising young talent. While many eyes will be on the established stars, several second-year players (true sophomores or redshirt freshmen) are generating buzz as potential breakout candidates. Here are five Nittany Lions entering their second year in the program who could significantly impact the team in 2025:

* Tyseer Denmark (Wide Receiver): A highly touted recruit from Philadelphia’s Imhotep Charter, Denmark possesses electrifying speed and agility. After a redshirt season to develop physically and learn the nuances of the college game, 2025 could be his time to shine in the receiving corps. With opportunities arising due to player departures, Denmark’s playmaking ability could add a dynamic element to the Penn State offense.

* Dejuan Lane (Safety): Lane was a four-star recruit in the 2024 class and possesses the athleticism and instincts to become a key player in the secondary. As a true freshman, he gained valuable experience and could be poised for a significant leap in his sophomore campaign. His versatility and potential to play multiple roles in the defensive backfield make him a player to watch.

* Anthony Speca (Linebacker): Hailing from Pittsburgh’s Pine-Richland High School, Speca was a highly regarded linebacker prospect. After a year in the program, learning under the experienced linebackers, Speca’s physicality and football IQ could see him compete for a more prominent role in the linebacker rotation. With potential vacancies, his development will be crucial for the Nittany Lion defense.

* Cooper Cousins (Offensive Line): An interior offensive lineman from Erie, Pennsylvania, Cousins was a prized recruit in the 2024 class. Offensive line development often takes time, but Cousins’s talent and work ethic could see him push for playing time in his second year. Solidifying the interior of the offensive line will be vital for Penn State’s success, and Cousins could be a key piece.

* Quinton Martin Jr. (Running Back): A versatile athlete from Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, Martin was one of the top recruits in the state. While Penn State boasts a strong running back duo in Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen (both seniors in 2025), Martin’s talent could carve out a role for him in the offense. His ability to run and catch the ball offers a different dimension to the backfield and could lead to a breakout season as he gains more experience.

These five players represent a blend of highly-touted recruits and those who have quietly developed within the program. Their progression in their second year could be pivotal in determining Penn State’s success in the 2025 season. As they gain more playing time and opportunities, their potential to break out and become key contributors will be closely watched by Nittany Lions fans.
