Former Penn State QB arrested on burglary charge; recapping a busy recruiting weekend, and more

Today's Penn State football headlines feature a troublesome update on former Lions quarterback Steven Bench and a look back at two PSU recruits who won gold at the PIAA track and field championships.

Bench was arrested on burglary and criminal mischief charges in connection with a break-in at a carwash early Monday morning, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Bench admitted to police that he was breaking into the business but "couldn't or wouldn't explain why," according to the report. Bench played one season at Penn State before transferring to South Florida as a sophomore in 2013.
