During the bye week Penn State coaches were busy on the road recruiting. This included offensive coordinator/quarterback coach Mike Yurcich making the trip to Iowa to visit quarterback commit Jaxon Smolik.
Smolik has already paid his admission into Penn State which allows unlimited contact between him and the Penn State coaching staff. This helped to make Yurcich’s visit possible.
It was a very busy week for James Franklin, and it started with a trip to Richmond, Virginia, to visit North Carolina commit and linebacker target Kaveion Keys.
Even with Keys committed to North Carolina, the Nittany Lions continue to recruit him hard.
