After rumors surfaced of the Raging Cajuns interest on Wednesday, Louisiana-Lafayette decided to hire former ASU offensive coordinator Billy Napier as the program's new head coach.
"Barkley is clearly the best running back in college football," McShay said. "He's also the best running back to come out of college since Adrian Peterson, and he would do well behind Cleveland's strong offensive line."
McSorley's name is already starting to crop up for the 2018 Heisman Trophy just days after Baker Mayfield took home the award.
Star Penn State running back Saquon Barkley finished fourth in Heisman voting with 15 first place votes.
Shoop will work under Joe Moorhead as Mississippi State's defensive coordinator after an unsuccessful tenure in Tennessee.
Another highly-touted recruit will not be staying on with the Nittany Lions, this time in the form of the four-star offensive lineman.
