I wish it were a joke. I'm not sure how much of a loss it is in recruiting now that we have Seider man.

 
I remember seeing Austin Scott playing in some kinda league at my high school stadium about 8 or 9 years ago.. So this is probably a hell of a lot better.
Just googled it. He played for the NEPA Miners.

Justin is not going to play in the XFL.
 
Do XFL players even have insurance? I know the old league they didn't. Remember the first game ver, the poor guy getting blasted in the sprint for the ball first and they said no insurance for their players.
 
You are just a none believer. The man died for us and our sins.

I pray for the success of justin

If the XFL is to succeed, much of the burden rests upon the shoulders of former Penn State two-way star Justin King.

King has been hired as the fledgling league’s manager of football operations, an XFL spokesman confirmed to PennLive on Thursday. He spent the past two seasons as an assistant recruiting coordinator at Penn State.

King will report to former Buffalo Bills GM Doug Whaley, the XFL’s vice president for football operations.

While Whaley and league commissioner Oliver Luck will map the vision for XFL 2.0, King will be charged with making that vision come to life.

A Pittsburgh native and a WPIAL Hall of Famer, King was a 5-star recruit in Penn State’s 2005 class. He played wide receiver as a true freshman on a Nittany Lions team that went 11-1, won the Big Ten and the Orange Bowl and finished No. 3 in both polls, tied with the 1991 season as the program’s highest finish since winning the 1986 national championship.

He played cornerback for his final two seasons, earning an All-Big Ten nod in 2007, before becoming a fourth-round pick of the St. Louis Rams and crafting a six-year career with the Rams, Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Along with fellow 2005 signee Derrick Williams, King was one of the first two 5-star recruits to sign with Penn State during the modern era of recruiting.

The XFL is scheduled to begin play on Feb. 8, 2020.
 
Tough loss for recruiting, as it seemed like recruits really took a liking into Justin and he could relate to them. No doubt it my mind that JF has someone else in mind to take over that role.

First Sanders, now King. But we will be fine.
