Since the activity of the blog has been rather quite of late, I thought I would share some of the news and notes that I have heard/seen coming out of State College since the start of Spring Practice. Maybe you have heard, maybe you have not. Either way, enjoy…

  • Nick Sukay has switched jersey numbers from #18 to the highly coveted #1 jersey which is interesting since this number has generally been reserved for a senior cornerback (ala Justin King, AJ Wallace, Anwar Phillips).
  • Ironically, Khairi Fortt is wearing #11. Is this an omen, and, will he start in 2010?
  • Chaz Powell has been moved from WR to DB. I was thinking this might happen with the abundance of talent at WR and Powell’s lackluster 2009 campaign. I think he could provide a little more depth at Safety.
  • Stefen Wisniewski is working at both Center and Guard spots. Remember all the mishandled snaps in the Outback Bowl? Are the coaches not happy with his progression?
  • Drew Astorino is recovering for shoulder surgery and will miss all of spring practice. Too bad because he needed spring ball to become more familiar with the strong safety position.
  • Joe says that Matt McGloin has a shot at winning the starting QB job…………REALLY?
  • The Blue-White game will be televised on ESPN2 and is the first Big Ten spring game to be televised nationally.
  • Starting punter candidate Anthony Fera was hit with an underage drinking citation!
