Penn State Spring Practice Update

Penn State head coach James Franklin spoke with the media late last week and discussed several topics.

One of the most revealing topics is the development of transfer wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley. The former Western Kentucky Hilltopper drew high praise from head coach James Franklin. What did he say, and what can it mean for the Nittany Lion’s passing attack next season? The BWI Live crew discusses the impact he has had this spring.

Franklin also gave new insight into new defensive coordinator Manny Diaz’s defense. How much of a learning curve are players on that side of the ball this spring? The panel will tackle that topic as well.

Next, they’ll stay on the defense and break down the veteran leadership situation. So who is stepping up as a team leader? Where can more leadership develop? That’s a question that Franklin did not have an answer for last week, so BWI will sink their teeth into that topic as well.

Young players standing out this spring

Finally, they will discuss standout Penn State players so far this spring that Franklin brought up. Which young Nittany Lions are ahead of expectations? And is there any update on the offensive line situation for Penn State?

You’ll also hear from Penn State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich and his thoughts about the freshmen on his roster. He had rave reviews for the Penn State running backs and explained the learning curve for the quarterbacks.
