   I thought AJ Brand was a Safety in high school? Why not put him at Safety, instead of WR. We may not be "crowded" in the WR room, but there are a lot of bodies in there. Safety seems less so to me. Feels like a player that would've been in the Spring portal window to me. Maybe he transfers anyway?

   I like the QB to wide receiver move. I've got to believe a former QB will have a great feel for how to run routes that help the QB.

   Andy, your access to practice seems to be very good, and probably more than you were expecting before spring ball.

      Aside from the first practice that was open (which Franklin said will be a unicorn event), it's pretty standard. Four periods or so once a week. Pry basically did the same, which isn't surprising, because he copied everything Franklin did at Penn State.

   Philly Special with Brand, but with hot peppers and provolone cheese, fake to the QB with an easy toss to the TE. GO HOKIES!!!

   Crowded kicking room is what we do!

   Like what I'm reading. Like how it's written.
