A couple notable recent commitments include former Syracuse wideout Trebor Peña moving to Penn State and ex- BYU wide receiver Keelan Marion committed to Miami. Both are considered major post-spring additions for a pair of preseason national championship contenders in need of offensive talent on the outside.

Spring storyline: The Nittany Lions snagged Jim Knowles, who just coordinated the No. 1 defense in college football last season at Ohio State. Penn State made him the highest-paid coordinator in the country ($3.1 million). Knowles will begin molding the Nittany Lions defense this spring, with plenty of talent to deploy.
