Koby Howard Is Emerging as a Serious Threat for No. 13 Penn State with Wisconsin up Next
On Tuesday, Penn State head coach Matt Campbell announced that wide receiver Koby Howard is questionable for Saturday's Big Ten opener against Wisconsin after sustaining an injury during the team's 55-13 victory over Buffalo.
Howard was 'dinged up' on a 70-yard touchdown run against Buffalo, according to Campbell; the breakout receiver leads Penn State with 12 catches for 344 yards through three games.
Campbell confirmed wide receiver Brett Eskildsen is also 'dinged up' and was limited the previous two weeks; tight end Andrew Rappleyea remains questionable after a first-half injury against Buffalo.
If Howard cannot play Saturday, redshirt freshman Zay Robinson will likely assume the starting role, having recorded five catches for 80 yards and one touchdown this season.
Penn State will submit its first conference-mandated availability report by 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, with teams required to release four reports before the Wisconsin game under new Big Ten requirements.
