Recruiting Rankings
Class of 2023:Consensus 3-star, No. 62 ranked athlete, per 247Sports
Wallace was not one of the highly touted running backs in the Class of 2023 but he offered the kind of speed that made him an intriguing prospect. The idea was to build him up a bit to eventually succeed Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen .
Career Stats
Injuries and a loaded running back room prevented Cam Wallace from making much of an impact with the Nittany Lions during his first two seasons. He ran 24 times for 86 yards and a touchdown in that span.
Depth Chart Overview
With a bunch of top-end talent to compete with, it's hard to see Wallace having a huge role in the running game. However, he could be used as a change-of-pace back because of his size, which could also potentially come in handy as a receiver. Those are likely the areas Wallace will need to focus on if he wants to impact the offense.
