Squad composition

How the 25-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Penn St. for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

  • Goalkeepers3
  • Defenders10
  • Midfielders7
  • Forwards5

Who is leaving, and when

8 of the 25 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 32% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 6 midfielders, 1 defender, 1 forward. Which programmes lose the most at your position?

  • Junior4

    2 defenders1 goalkeeper1 forward

  • Senior (final year)6

    4 midfielders1 defender1 forward

  • Graduate (final year)2

    2 midfielders

Final-year groups are shown in amber. A player listed at two positions is counted under each of them, since they provide cover in either, so the positions on a row can total more than the row itself. Redshirt players are counted in the year they are listed for, of which there are 2.
