Show notes
Penn State football got a major spring storyline when Matt Campbell said Zion Tracy could be one of the best cornerbacks in the country. That immediately puts the spotlight on Tracy, Penn State’s secondary, and what D'Anton Lynn may be building on defense.
In this episode, we break down why Zion Tracy is drawing so much praise, how the Penn State secondary could become the strength of the defense, what Marcus Neil had to say about the safety and corner rooms, and whether the growing Penn State injury list should actually worry fans. We also discuss Alex Manske, Rocco Becht, Jeremiah Cooper, Anthony Donkoh, and several other key spring names.
