Terry Smith replaced James Franklin when he was fired.

Now, Smith is back to his old roles, where some things have changed with the new staff adjusting.

“Everyone in the building knows that I’m the associate head coach. Under James, that wasn’t clear.”

@GregFinberg This is what it’s all about

Penn State should hit the portal after Rocco Becht’s exit. Also wouldn’t be surprised if another QB is added to the 2027 class. Bourque and Will Mencl are obviously familiar names for a flip, with Bourque having higher odds. Brody Brenneman is an uncommitted one to watch.

[Lyle Alenstein @LAlenstein]

Will Wood and Peter Bourque are both talented prospects. At the end of the day, Penn State and Virginia Tech get their top target.

BREAKING: Class of 2027 QB Will Wood has Committed to Penn State, he tells me for @Rivals

The 6’1 220 QB chose the Nittany Lions over Boston College, Arkansas, and West Virginia

“Happy Valley I’m H🦁ME, let’s get to work!”

@TDsTake Congrats Tyler!

[Lyle Alenstein @LAlenstein]

@bigsengtweets Thanks Seth! Hope you’re doing well.

Thanks to health issues, my freshman year didn’t go as planned — I considered transferring.

I’m glad I didn’t, as I wouldn’t trade the four years at Penn State and the Collegian for anything.

My 1190th and final byline for a paper that changed my life.

Besides my senior column dropping next week, this will be my final story covering Penn State sports for the Collegian. Thanks to everyone for reading and following, as well as the people that helped me along the way.

Grateful for the ride 🫡

In reference to Dwight Schrute, Dan Connor’s X bio says "Assistant to the LB coach.”

While Connor is no longer the lead LB coach, the impact of Penn State’s all-time tackles leader is still being felt.

“He loves Penn State football, what it did for him.”
