All 24 players — including starting quarterback Trace McSorley, cornerback John Reid, and punter Blake Gillikin — will have a crucial role to play both on and off the field for Penn State. They’ll help head coach James Franklin make decisions about the team and will meet with Franklin twice a month to discuss the culture of the program and the team’s chemistry.

“We are excited about our Leadership Council this year,” Franklin said in a release. “This group becomes more valuable every year because of the relationships we develop and the ability to discuss topics and challenges facing our team, university and community with solution-oriented conversations. It is critical to continue to develop leadership skills within our team, not only for this year, but to prepare these young men for life after Penn State.”
