Matt Campbell and his staff have a strong history of developing three-star talent, so they may be able to coax these former 4 and 5-stars into breakout seasons.
Matt Campbell has never recruited elite talent to Iowa State. The 10-year head coach of the Cyclones, instead, mastered the art of developing three-stars into Power Conference starters and NFL prospects.
Now that he’s at Penn State, Campbell will undoubtedly begin to attract four and five-star recruits, but before he can assemble a recruiting class of his own, he may need to put his developmental chops to work on some of James Franklin’s former blue-chippers.
