Nevada Football Team Opens Fall Camp with Season Opener Against Penn State
The Nevada football team kicks off fall camp Wednesday, gearing up for its season opener against Penn State on August 30. This marks head coach Jeff Choate’s second season leading the Wolf Pack, who averaged 23.1 points per game last season, ranking 105th out of 134 FBS schools. New offensive coordinator David Gilbertson, promoted from quarterbacks coach, aims to boost the offense’s efficiency.
Quarterback Chubba Purdy steps into the spotlight after the transfer of All-MW Honorable Mention Brendon Lewis. Known for his athleticism, Purdy will need to improve his passing accuracy as he enters his sixth college season, supported by veteran A.J. Bianco and true freshman Carter Jones.
In the backfield, Herschel Turner Jr. is poised to make an impact after a strong high school career, following the departures of last season’s top rushers. The receiving corps features returning starter Marcus Bellon, alongside a mix of veterans and newcomers to fill key roles.
Tight end Jace Henry, recovering from injury, is expected to become a major asset, while the offensive line sees fresh faces after key losses to the transfer portal. As the team assembles its core, optimism remains high for the upcoming season.
