Penn State football named quarterback Rocco Becht, offensive lineman Anthony Donkoh, linebacker Kooper Ebel, and cornerback Audavion Collins as team captains for the Nittany Lions’ Big Ten opener against Wisconsin, the team announced Saturday morning.

Becht, Donkoh, and Ebel got the nod for the fourth consecutive game. Becht completed 11-of-19 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns against Buffalo in Week 3. Ebel notched a tackle-for-loss and one sack against the Bulls.

Penn State’s captaincy addition for Week 4 is Collins, who Matt Campbell and D’Anton Lynn have lauded as one of the Nittany Lions’ fiercest playmakers on defense. Collins has tabbed four total tackles, four pass breakups, and four passes defended in the young season so far. He has also made an impact in punt coverage.

Penn State and Wisconsin kick off at 5 p.m. on Peacock from Beaver Stadium.
