Staying at bay

CFC #1 O’Connor to remain a Nittany Lion after Franklin’s hiring.

It’s now a business as usual attitude for CFC # 1’s Michael O’Connor.

Last week, CFC reported that the Ottawa, Ontario quarterback’s commitment to Penn State Nittany Lions was in possible jeopardy after the departures of Bill O’Brien and Charlie Fisher from the coaching staff. O’Brien was recently hired as the Head Coach of the NFL’s Houston Texans.

This past weekend, James Franklin left his position as Vanderbilt Commodores Head Coach to take on the same role at Penn State.

One day after the hiring, O’Connor declared that he would remain at Penn State according to his twitter account and was looking forward to beginning his academic and gridiron life at the NCAA Division 1 school.

100% committed to PSU !! Wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else in the country , feels good to be done with recruiting. Start college classes tmrw

The CFC # 1 ranked player has begun studying business at Penn State.  As for the gridiron, he will take part in the Nittany Lions winter strength and conditioning program, which will culminate in the team’s intersquad game in April.
