Penn State Football Morning Briefing: Mike Gesicki a Top TE, Junior Day Recap, and Other News
It’s a bit of a light day, but there are still some Penn State football news links to look through.
Although it’s the offseason, there is still Penn State football news to go through. Head coach James Franklin and his staff hosted Junior Day this past weekend and got visits from some of the top recruits from the 2018 and 2019 classes. Be sure to check out the Junior Day recaps below.
In news not related to recruiting, StateCollege.com looks at wether or not getting 107,000 spectators for the spring game is a reality. Also, James Franklin addressed the Board of Trustees at the end of last week and PennLive has an in-depth look at the returning running backs.
Tight end Mike Gesicki, who struggled for his first two seasons, enters his senior year as one of the top tight ends in the nation.
Finally, in a season rewind, there’s a look back at the heartbreaking defeat at Pitt in September.
