Penn State

Athlon's just put out an article on where some of the current PSU players should transfer to. Nebraska was included in possible teams for all three linebackers.

Gerald Hodges, LB – After becoming a major contributor to the defense late in the 2010 season, Hodges emerged as one of the unit's top players in 2011. He led Penn State with 106 tackles last year, while also recording 10 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks. Hodges earned first-team All-Big Ten honors last season and was nominated to the Butkus Award watchlist for 2012. He is expected to be one of the first linebackers off the board in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Possible Fits: TCU, Pittsburgh, Michigan, Baylor, Texas, West Virginia, Nebraska, Auburn, Arkansas, LSU

4. Michael Mauti, LB – Injuries have limited Mauti in his career but if healthy, is capable of ranking among the Big Ten’s top linebackers. He recorded 21 tackles in four games last year but suffered a torn ACL in the 34-6 win over Eastern Michigan. Mauti played in 11 games in 2010 and recorded 67 tackles and two sacks. All signs point to a return to full strength by Mauti, but he may need a few games to knock off the rust. Considering Mauti's father played at Penn State, it could be difficult for him to leave Happy Valley.

Possible Fits: Michigan, NC State, Baylor, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Nebraska, Arizona, Arkansas, Auburn, TCU

5. Khairi Fortt, LB – With Mauti, Hodges, Glenn Carson and Fortt, the Nittany Lions have one of the Big Ten’s top linebacking corps for 2012. Fortt finished spring practice just behind Glenn Carson on the depth chart and is expected to make another push for a starting spot this fall. He logged significant snaps last season, recording 33 tackles and six tackles for a loss. As a junior, Fortt is only scratching the surface on his potential and could have a breakout 2012 season.

Possible Fits: Pittsburgh, Nebraska, Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn

Another thing, just remember Ron Brown's prayer/speech before last years game at Happy Valley. Some of those kids might want to play for a guy like Ron Brown and honestly who would blame them?

Yes, USC has notified penn state they are trying to persuade silas redd to come to usc. A team in trouble with ncaa gives another team with problems in the ncaa a player. kinda funny if it happens

i would not be surprised to see a massive exodus, can not blame them.

 
Some will leave, in a few days, after it sinks in and the "stick together" idea fades, same with the current recruits.

The big question is, will Pelini go after them? I hope he calls up that DT they have, I think he is a junior.

 
I would be very surprised if any PSU players transferred to NU. Most will go to OSU, USC, or an east coast school.

 
I was listening to this transfer talk today on ESPN and it got me to thinking. Will the players that do leave consider NU because of how we handled the game in Happy Valley? I just wonder if they think highly of NU because we took it to midfield before the game when no one wanted to be on that field with them at that time.

It would be a continuing moment of clarity if the NCAA would limit transfer options to those schools NOT currently in trouble with the NCAA.
