After #dominating the 2014 recruiting class, James Franklin made headway in filling out his 2015 class as he received a commitment from four star wide receiver Juwan Johnson. His coach, Mark Maccarone, confirmed the report to Fight On State's (and our) Greg Pickel.
James Franklin wants to see Beaver Stadium packed to the very top for every home game. That quest took a first step on Thursday when Nittany Lion Club members got a chance to renew tickets and change seat selections.
John Urschel might need a new trophy case sooner rather than later. The former Penn State football player is up for yet another award.
Penn State football's offensive line coach/run game coordinator Herb Hand has proven to be better at the Internet than anyone else in Happy Valley. On Friday, March 7, his quest to take over all corners of the Web will bring him to reddit, where he will hold an Ask Me Anything at 2 p.m.
Similar to the way things worked under O'Brien, each assistant coach on Franklin's staff will recruit an area of the state, chipping in elsewhere as needed. And visits aren't wasted time and energy. If Penn State makes a trip to the western edge of the state to visit one recruit, staffers making the trip will visit other schools as well -- just to maintain a working relationship with high schools across the state.
Have you ever dreamed of running out of that Beaver Stadium tunnel in the blue and white, with the roar of 107,000 leading the way? If you weren't recruited out of high school or didn't grab those high-star ratings needed for a Penn State offer, it might not be too late.
