About

Penn State Depth Chart Analysis Team

Penn State Depth Chart is led by Winston, a lifelong Nittany Lions analyst who has spent more than a decade tracking roster moves, schematic trends, and recruiting developments in Happy Valley. Supported by a dedicated in-house research group, we translate insider knowledge into clear, data-rich insights that help fans, media, and partners understand the true state of Penn State football.

Expert Leadership

Our founder Winston brings formal training in sports analytics, on-site reporting experience at Beaver Stadium, and long-standing relationships with former players and coaching staff. From player development to game-day strategy, every analysis reflects firsthand observations backed by rigorous film study and credentialed media access.

Experience That Matters

  • Over 15 seasons of charting snap counts, personnel usage, and situational play calling for Penn State football.
  • Collaboration with regional recruiting experts to validate prospect grades and NCAA eligibility updates.
  • Regular guest analysis for Pennsylvania sports radio and podcast networks covering Big Ten football.

Editorial Standards & Review Process

Every depth chart projection, player profile, and breaking news story is produced through a documented editorial workflow designed to satisfy Google's E-E-A-T expectations:

  • Experience: We report from live practices, media availabilities, and film sessions to add first-hand context that cannot be replicated from box scores alone.
  • Expertise: Articles are authored by analysts with demonstrated knowledge of Penn State schemes, NCAA compliance, and player development cycles.
  • Authority: Insights are cross-checked against primary sources, including university releases, Big Ten records, and verified recruiting services.
  • Trust: We maintain transparent sourcing, disclose affiliate relationships, and update archives when new information emerges.

Methodology & Data Sources

Our projections combine proprietary grading models with data from trusted outlets such as Pro Football Focus, 247Sports, and official NCAA statistics. We enrich those numbers with coach interviews, player development histories, and verified injury reports to deliver a complete picture of the roster at any given moment.

Community & Accountability

Penn State football is built on community, and so is our coverage. We speak with lettermen, student managers, and local boosters to stay connected to the heartbeat of the program. When readers flag corrections or request deeper dives, we respond within one business day and document updates for complete transparency.
