Amos will join kicker Sam Ficken and offensive tackle Donovan Smith, and more invites could be accepted soon enough. Amos will have a chance to improve his draft stock with a good showing in Indianapolis. Right now he is likely to be a late-round draft pick at best.In other former Nittany Lion news, Adam Taliaferro has been
In other former Nittany Lion news, Adam Taliaferro has been sworn in as a New Jersey legislator. What a story he continues to be.

Four different recruiting outlets, four different top-ranked players. Interesting that EPSN is the only recruiting service ranking a player committed to the SEC as the top player in Pennsylvania. But I suppose that is the SEC bias for you…

When will the Big Ten change its stance on the remaining sanction terms against Penn State? Be patient. It will happen… With the coaching carousel settled, which Big Ten teams made out the best with the latest coaching changes?… The ACC released its 2015 conference schedule and made a change in how it views BYU… If you like long-form stuff, SB Nation has something with a look at former PSU commit Brandon Wimbush that might be interesting to you… The College Football Playoff committee is debating whether or not Navy should be included in Group of Five conversations if qualified…
Super Bowl Pick
Picking the Patriots, but rooting for the Seahawks. Also rooting for Marshawn Lynch to win MVP just so old-fashioned journalists can be annoyed. Now let me go grab some Skittles…
Enjoy your weekend!
