Penn State 125 this year

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Robbie Howard (if healthy) would be the starter.  The problem is he's yet to be healthy a full season at Penn State.  He has chronic shoulder injuries which seem to only get worse over time.  At his best he is capable of being a lower AA level guy.  He did take out Malik Heinselman at NCAAs the last time he was there.

Gary Steen - 2x PA state champ, tries super hard but seems undersized.  He's had a few years in the PSU room now so I have a hard time seeing him making a jump to a .500 level guy.

Kurt McHenry - I remember him being a top level recruit who was neck and neck with Heinselman in high school.  I think he had (and maybe still has) the same issue as Heinselman as not being big enough for 125.  Hard to see him being a solid upgrade over Gary Steen even.

I think Penn State needs someone else in the mix...a healthy, full-sized 125 pounder.  Given the current room, a low level AA would have to be a favorite at being Penn State's starter at 125 this year.  Any ideas?

Luke Lilledahl is coming. And Hell’s coming with him.

Well, he’s not coming to PSU this year, so it’s kinda irrelevant.
