Just going to update this as the points come in. So feel free to keep refreshing. Starting with Franklin video from after practice:
1) First and foremost, Franklin drew attention to the defensive tackle position and the emergence of redshirt freshman Kevin Givens. The Altoona product has come on strong, to positive reviews from Franklin and his Penn State teammates.
"The guy that I really made a big deal out of in the team meeting today but is really doing some nice things right now is Kevin Givens. He's kind of the talk of spring ball right now," said Franklin. "Some guys do it in the weight room and then it doesn't translate to the field. They're weight room warriors, but not really on the field. And he's really doing some nice things right now. He's just so explosive, so strong, that he's been a guy that's really stood out so far."
