ALTOONA, Pa. -- That's Tyler Elsdon pictured above, and it sure sounds like he will be Penn State's starting middle linebacker when the team opens at Purdue in two weeks.
James Franklin said Wednesday that Elsdon is "a little bit ahead" of Kobe King in the competition at this stage. And since we're only a week away from starting game prep for Purdue, one would think Elsdon will be getting the nod at the key position against the Boilermakers.
But King definitely will play in the opening game.
