We start with announcement dates that will impact Penn State. Four-star Philadelphia defensive end Mylachi Williams is set to make his college choice public on July 8.

Quote of the day
“You’re talking about the No. 1 player in the state a year ago, and you have to walk into this stadium and live up to that reputation early and every weekend. We also know there was a point in the middle of the season where people were questioning whether he was even that good. That’s part of growth. He gets it now. He understands college football. He’s become a smarter player, which is going to allow him to be a better player. Getting him out of his comfort zone, seeing him laugh, making him laugh, making him joke. It’s like going to a talent show: You don’t want to do it, but you make them do it.”
–PSU RB coach Ja’Juan Seider to Sports Illustrated about running back Nicholas Singleton.
