The Complete Penn State Football Twitter Directory

Quite possibly the most radical difference between Penn State football’s new coaching regime and its old one is its use of social media. While Bill O’Brien was a noted critic of Twitter and “Spacebook,” James Franklin has shown an acceptance of social media that has made his growing legend in Happy Valley grow even more.

In honor of Penn State football’s sudden change of heart of social media, I, @bflip33, have decided to go through and compile the names and Twitter handles of every Penn State football coach, player, and recruit. Some guidelines:

  1. The players come via GoPSUSports and are accurate up to Tuesday morning.
  2. The recruits come via Rivals and are accurate up to Tuesday morning.
  3. Recruits who enrolled at Penn State early are considered players on the active roster.
  4. Preferred run-ons in the 2014 recruiting class are included

With all that in mind, here is your 2014 Penn State football Twitter directory (please let us know in the comments if you know of someone we missed).

You can follow the entire list here.
