Twitter back in early-Nov mentions preferred walk-on opportunity.

Sean Fitz tweet from 11/19 indicates he was offered as a preferred walk-on.

Walk-on?! Walk-on?! Walk-ons never do anything!

Looks like someone who loves the game and leaves it all on the field. Welcome to the house and family that Joe built Jason.

Welcome aboard

 

[butchnitt]

Agree on walk-ons; Ethan Kilmer and Matt McGloin didn't make it. Only walk-on I remember doing great was Rudy at Notre Dame.

A grateful, unselfish attitude rather than an entitled "me, me, me - it's all about me" attitude.....refreshing.

Awesome, welcome aboard Jason

Has a great attitude about his opportunity and the appearance of a mini Clay Matthews. Maybe he plays like one.

great to hear jason is coming to Penn State welcome Jason. As for Rudy, he was offsides.

 

[zwick99]

He will end up at Marshall.

 

[T J]

He will end up at Marshall.

Haha ...

Maybe not. Info says he is a Dec Grad at the JUCO. If so, he may be enrolling to start attending classes during Spring semester. That part isn't clear, but Dec Grad may be an indicator.

 

[bdgan]

He will end up at Marshall.

Why? Did PSU lose interest in him?

 

[zwick99]

Do you think PSU was still recruiting him hard after the 4th DT committed?

We are down to three but it does not look like they are chasing another DT.

 

[sluggo72]

MU needs DT's too.

 

[matthewfpierce]

If anyone that is recruited by power 5 school ends up at Marshall there's always an easy answer...academics. Chavis didn't have it together academically to go to PSU or Auburn even.

Who are the 4 DTs?

Jordan is the only player listed as a DT. Dioubate & Dwumfour are listed as DEs but might grow into DTs. Joseph & Simmons are DEs.

Last year we recruited Windsor. He was listed as a DE but was moved to DT. Right now we've got Cothren, White, and RS freshman Windsor. We might be OK at DT if Windsor, Dwumfour, etc grow into the spot but that's probably going to take a year or two. That's why I was wondering about a JUCO kid to help us through the transition.

Chavis never had it together academically to go to any college, so Marshall is the perfect option.

maybe they know ferns goes elsewhere....

Maybe, but he's a walk-on so it has, or should have, nothing to do with Ferns's decision.

Dwumfour and Dioubate were both recruited to play DT. Joseph is a DE that may grow into a DT. PSU is after bigger fish than Chavis to complete this class.

Those guys probably aren't going to be ready to play DT as true freshmen or RS freshmen.
