The Penn State Football Show

Here is a video of Newsome announcing his decision. I can not stress how huge this is for Penn State. They were in dire need of a top quarterback after the Devlin transfer, and they end up getting one just a few days later.

Newsome seems like a great kid. He's an honors student, he's very well spoken, seems very bright. He will be a great fit for Penn State. I like having a mobile quarterback too, so that works great. Hopefully they will continue with a similar type of offense in years to come. He has a great opportunity to step in and get some PT right away, learn from Darryl Clark as his backup freshman year, and hopefully, if things progress well, he could start for three years, maybe even four if he redshirts, which I think is unlikely given Penn State's lack of depth at QB.

It's also great that he is graduating early and will enroll next month. Having this spring under his belt will do wonders in preparing him for next fall. It really showed with guys in the past like J King, D Will, and Dan Connor.
