As our site countdown continues, Saturday marked a milestone in the charge toward football season as Penn State hosted its annual media day in Beaver Stadium.
While the day is typically one of canned quotes and platitudes, we did get some news coming out as it was reported than safety John Petrishen has entered the transfer portal and defensive tackle Ellison Jordan is no longer with the program.
Following a brief talk from Penn State Police regarding the changes in traffic patterns, James Franklin took to the podium.
He began by praising the program for facilities and equipment upgrades, noting that old turf had been ripped up from the practice fields and that players were now wearing guarding caps in practice to monitor for concussions.
