Penn State Football’s recruiting department will reportedly be receiving a huge boost with the addition of former assistant director of player personnel Kenny Sanders.

Sean Fitz of Lions 247 broke the news Friday afternoon that Sanders would be coming back to Happy Valley. An official role for Sanders was not given in the report, although Fitz says it will be similar to the one Sanders held in Oregon.

Sanders was a member of the Nittany Lions‘ recruiting staff from 2014 to 2019 before taking a job with the Oregon Ducks.
