Three-star defensive back Christian Campbell committed to Penn State on Monday evening, according to Ryan Burns of GopherIllustrated.com. Campbell hails from Phenix City, Alabama where he played safety at Central High School. The pick-up came as a surprise as Campbell was not considered a recruiting target for the Nittany Lions.
Former linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden will reportedly join Troy Calhoun's staff at Air Force, according to Pete Roussel of coachingsearch.com.
One of the first commitments that James Franklin received after coming to Penn State may never suit up for the Nittany Lions. Lloyd Tubman, a four-star defensive end out of Kentucky, has reportedly decided to re-open his recruitment and will announce where he plans on signing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, according to The Louisville Courier-Journal's Steve Jones.
James Franklin has added prestigious guests to his signing day event, Linebacker U’s own LaVar Arrington and Michael Mauti.
Could James Franklin be looking to make a splash with his next commit? If his comments to TMZ Sports are any indication, he may be looking to do just that with the son of rap royalty.
That passion -- derived from James Franklin, his staff, and their "dominate the state" mantra -- will culminate next Wednesday on National Signing Day, as ESPN's Pedro Gomez will be on campus providing all day coverage as the faxes come in.
