As we all know now, Pat Devlin has transferred from Penn State and will be going to Delaware.
Ugh.
Obviously not good news at all for the Nittany Lions. If Clark gets hurt in either bowl practice or in the Rose Bowl, Devlin won’t be there and instead will be Paul Cianciolo (yikes!). But what’s even more scarier than that is the possibility that PSU could only have one scholarship QB on their roster next season. ONE. That means a walk-on will be a back-up to Darryl Clark, who God forbids, gets hurt next season.
So what does this mean?
PSU MUST land either Kevin Newsome or Tahj Boyd. One of them, preferably Newsome, needs to come to Happy Valley. If both don’t, regardless of the fact that PSU has a good chance with 2010 QB Paul Jones, then PSU could be majorly screwed if Clark does get hurt next season. Imagine a walk-on QB that no one knows in his first game against let’s say…Ohio State. Can not take that chance. Add that our offensive line won’t nearly be as good as it was this year and there’s even more of a risk of Clark getting hurt which makes this transfer so huge.
In other (and good) news, PSU has landed four-star safety Gerald Hodges. HUGE get. We have an opening for the safety position and he should fit in perfectly. Joe Paterno also mentioned at “silent verbals” in his presser yesterday. Obviously Hodges is probably one of them but I wonder who’s the other one? (Hopefully Newsome).
