Penn State has nation's No. 1 recruiting class; how Trace McSorley became an "X-factor" and more

Today's Penn State football news is headlined by some more good news for the Nittany Lions on the recruiting front and a look at quarterback Trace McSorley.

The Allentown Morning Call takes the deep dive on McSorley, with a quote from Rutgers' coach Chris Ash that helps define who No. 9 is for the Lions.

"He's just got something about him," Rutgers coach Chris Ash said. "I really thought he was one of the biggest X-factors in the season they had last year."

It's one of a few feature pieces out today, as the Centre Daily Times writes on defensive line coach Sean Spencer's knack for rotating his defensive linemen early and often while Lions247 catches up with linebacker Koa Farmer.
