Penn State faced challenges in the Peach Bowl as Olu Fashanu and Kalen King were initially reported as out, but Fashanu was seen warming up before the game. Chop Robinson, who had opted out, was with the team for warmups. The absence of key players led to lineup changes, with Drew Shelton and J'ven Williams taking on significant roles. Fashanu later officially opted out of the Peach Bowl, while King declared for the NFL Draft after not playing in the game.

Anthony Donkoh at right tackle, Drew Shelton at left tackle as the second half gets started. Lots of glimpses of the future to look for in this second half, too https://t.co/nnW2cwgRrS
As expected, Drew Shelton gets the start at left tackle in place of Olu Fashanu. Vega Ioane next to him.
As expected, Drew Shelton starts at right tackle. Penn State begins the game in 22 personnel.
Former @WyoFootball star J'ven Williams might see extensive playing time today for #PennState behind Caedan Wallace and Drew Shelton with All-American Olu Fashanu not playing.

With All-American OT Olu Fashanu out for the Peach Bowl, expect increased snaps for these two right here. Drew Shelton (right) replaced an injured Fashanu at LT in 2022. J’ven Williams (left) practiced at LT this whole year. https://t.co/XU5mgFVc51
