Gbadyu Stays Home

This just in from Fight on State: Backup outside linebacker Bani Gbadyu did not make the trip to Pasadena with the team.

FightOnState.com has learned that Penn State backup linebacker Bani Gbadyu did not make the trip to Los Angeles for the Rose Bowl due to academic issues.

Academic issues, huh? As in like he's not enrolled for the spring semester? This is just speculation on my part, but a lot of times when you hear about a reserve sophomore not making the bowl trip it sometimes means they have one foot out the door. Let's hope this isn't anything big.

Devlin transfer

Maybe the Devlin transfer got him thinking? Hopefully it is just grades, because he’d be a big help to us next year

Its

a loss but could be worse, we are loaded at LB

This is bad news for him

It’ll be tough for him to climb out of Joe’s doghouse with all of the LB talent we have behind him, and coming in the future. He’s quick but he didn’t dominate the field in his time out there. It’s a slight depth hit but the younger guys will fill in well.

Crap.

Clearly, he wasn’t as far along the learning curve this year as everyone thought he would be. Despite crazy athleticism, he seemed to be out of place or filling the wrong gap when he saw the field.

However, he’s still young, so here’s hoping he figures out where the library is (if grades are an issue) and continues learning on the field as well.
