Penn State searching for a new defensive line coach

What’s the situation with Penn State’s search for a defensive line coach? Should fans be concerned about the lateness of John Scott Jr’s departure to the NFL? Fitz will discuss his thoughts on the program’s latest hiring search and what to expect in the coming days and weeks. They’ll also look back on Scott’s time and resume that he compiled at Penn State to determine if the team can upgrade the position or if they’ll look to replicate what Scott brought to the room.

Of course, they’ll also dive into the idea of elevating Deion Barnes to the role of defensive line coach from his current analyst role.

Next, T-Frank and Fitz will recap Jackson, Penn State’s newest commitment in the Class of 2024. What does Fitz see in the 6-1 linebacker? How did his relationship with the staff develop? They’ll also discuss the relationship between Penn State’s perceived weaknesses and the team’s acquisition of two middle linebackers in this class.

Players who have superstar potential in 2023

Finally, T-Frank will give you his list of players that could vault their way into superstardom next fall for the Nittany Lions. He has a list of five offensive and defensive players from his recent articles on the same subject that he’ll share with viewers.
