The Obligatory PSU Podcast

Storylines from Penn State Spring Football: Linebackers, transfers & true freshmen.

Show Notes

Spring football is back in Happy Valley for the first time in nearly two years, and for a program that struggled mightily through 2020 without the benefit of offseason practices, its return has been warmly received by coaches, players, and fans. With James Franklin, several Nittany Lions assistant coaches, and multiple players addressing the media each week, we'll be sharing some highlights along with commentary on what it all might mean as Old State gears up for a critical Fall. In this episode, we're talking talent and flexibility at linebacker, transfer portal reinforcements along the front four, and two young siblings with possible stardom in their future. Fair warning: You'll have to wade through the usual tangents and digressions (all good stuff!) to get there.

The goal is to touch on a broad variety of topics relating to the Nittany Lions in conversations that are frequently funny and occasionally profound, all while enjoying a few (or more) adult beverages.
