Penn State Football Morning Briefing: McGloin Signs With PA Team, Replacing Reid, and Other News
There’s lots to go over in the latest version of the Penn State football news links.
Tuesday’s Penn State football news covers a wide variety of topics. To start, there’s a preview of the linebacker position and Black Shoe Diaries projects who the defensive MVP will be in 2017. Also, StateCollege.com analyzes the Nittany Lions to see what champs are made of.
OF course, the unfortunate news from last last week was the fact that starting cornerback and punt returner John Reid could miss the majority of the season with a knee injury. There are a few different takes on who his replacement could be.
In recruiting news, Penn State extended a new offer to a linebacker and a defensive target is planning a visit to Happy Valley. PennLive has an interesting look at the “Trace McSorley Skill” that is being found in some of the latest recruits.
Finally, former Penn State walk-on quarterback Matt McGloin has signed a contract to continue his NFL team in his home state of Pennsylvania.
