I confirmed a few high schools that the coaches plan to hit this afternoon and later tonight.
- Terry Smith was at Cleveland Heights H.S. in Cleveland this afternoon to check up on Rivals250 WR Jaylen Harris. 2016 Ath. Zachary Ford also attends Cleveland Heights. He's currently committed to Toledo, but has seen a few bigger schools show serious interest in recent weeks. I believe that PSU is mainly interested in Harris, but Ford is a name to remember.
- Penn State is also expected to drop by Steubenville H.S. in Steubenville, Ohio to check up on 2017 TE Charles Reeves. I believe it'll be Terry Smith, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Reeves has already landed an offer from Michigan.
- Penn State will then attend the Seton LaSalle - Steel Valley game this evening. The main prospect to note is 2017 Rivals250 DB Paris Ford, but RB Dewayne Murray is another name to remember. Murray has been on campus a few times and I know the staff has real interest in him, but I also believe that Swift is their No. 1 2017 RB target. That position won't be a major need for the staff next year, so I expect the staff to wait and see where Swift stands this winter and maybe into the spring before they take a serious look at Murray and some other 2017 running backs.
- Penn State is also expected to be at the Beaver Falls - Mohawk Area game. The main prospect to note is 2017 DE Donovan Jeter. For the most part, the assistants attend one game and then leave at half-time for another game, but Seton LaSalle and Beaver Falls are about an hour drive, so I believe it'll be different assistants at different games, but I wasn't able to confirm exactly who. I know Terry Smith is out and about, so I expect him to be at one of those games, but Herb Hand and Bob Shoop also recruit different areas of Western Pa, so I imagine one of them will be out that way.
If I confirm which coach is at which game, I'll make a post in this thread. All I could confirm today is which games the staff plans to attend. Also, before anyone asks, no, I'm not expecting any helicopters tonight. haha. That's usually saved for Franklin and as far as I know, he only goes out during bye weeks.
