Penn State practice preview
Penn State’s bye week changes the weekly schedule slightly, so the Nittany Lions will open practice to the media on Tuesday night instead of its weekly Wednesday showcase. What are we expecting to see and hear tonight? We’ll preview the bye week events to kick off the show.
Next, we’ll get into the latest and hottest Penn State recruiting news from this past weekend. The team secured the commitment of Johnson, a Louisville commit that the team targeted early in the recruiting process but ultimately lost in June. Despite that close battle, the Nittany Lions won out this week by flipping the three-star defensive back. We’ll discuss the team’s recruiting efforts with Fitz and what he makes of the situation.
