Saeed Blacknall

Blacknall is the biggest of the projected starters in Penn State’s receiving corps, checking in at 6-3, 212 pounds. He wasn’t prominently featured in the Penn State offense in 2015, but he thrived when given the chance. Blacknall hauled in eight of 18 targets for 248 yards, which is good enough for an astounding 31 yards per reception, and one touchdown. His touchdown was a noteworthy one as he beat Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers down the sideline and made a good adjustment back to the ball in the end zone. Blacknall will likely be the third option in the receiving corps behind Chris Godwin and DaeSean Hamilton, but he has the athleticism and big-play ability to be a dangerous weapon in a new offense that promises to be more high flying than the plodding system that ex-OC John Donovan ran in 2014 and 2015.
