I was able to touch base with some contacts this afternoon.

I just wanted to pass along a few names that camped with PSU last night in Chicago, plus some guys that are expected to be in Atlanta tonight. Both camps are in the evening. I'll probably check in with people again on Thursday. I know you guys want updates everyday, but I try to spread things out so I'm not becoming a burden to them.

Personally, I have to learn about a lot of these guys myself. I'm not very familiar with most of these guys, so I'll try to learn more and more in the coming weeks.

Chicago

LB Sam Brodner (2016)
DE Romeo McKnight (2016)
QB Brandon Wildman (2016)

DT Devonte Dunn (2017)
RB Ivory Kelly-Martin (2017)
WR Eric Rooks (2017)


- From what I was able to gather, McKnight and Brodner are the two prospects to keep an eye on. Brodner has actually been talking to Rahne for a couple months now. He was one of the guys the staff really wanted to see last night and I was told he had a solid performance. McKnight also caught the staff's eye. I don't believe they've been contacting him much in recent weeks/months, but I was told today that he had the best performance yesterday.

As for Wildman, he actually visited PSU back in April, but I would be surprised if PSU offered. The three 2017 prospects are guys that I'll watch down the road. Was just told that they caught the staff's attention last night.

Atlanta

OL Patrick Kearns (2016)
DB Arkeem Byrd (2016)
TE Mack Nash (2016)

CB Nick Roberts (2017)

OL Keiondre Jones (2019)


- Out of these five guys, Kearns is the one I'll be watching the closest - mainly because he's a 2016 prospect - but 2017 prospect Nick Roberts is another guy that I believe the staff has real interest in. PSU sits in a much better spot along the offensive line today than a month ago, when Kearns signed up for all of this, but I know he's a guy the staff has real interest in. I know one of the assistant coaches made their way to Georgia this spring to check up on him.

As for Roberts, he's been in touch with Terry Smith for a few months now and he already holds a few solid offers. If anyone is picking up an offer from this camp, I believe it's Roberts.

Also, freshman Keiondre Jones - can't believe I'm talking about a 2019 prospect right now - is a guy to remember. It's really early, but he has legit five-star potential.
