It's early in fall camp, but running back Saquon Barkley is already making jaw-dropping plays. Watch him as he somehow manages to elude a slew of would-be tacklers in the tightest of spaces, then watch it again just to be sure your eyes aren't deceiving you. Something tells me we're in for a truly special season from the true sophomore.

After earning his Business Administration degree from PSU last December, it appeared that Adam Breneman was ready to move on with his post-football life and pursue a career path in the political realm. Well, you can scratch those career plans for now, because AB is going to give this football thing another chance by grad transferring to UMass, as noted in his touching Twitter note. On behalf of Nittany Nation, best of luck to you, Adam!

Penn State Qb Trace McSorley Finds DeAndre Thompkins With A Sharp TD Pass
McSorley finished 23-27 for 281 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception during the blue and white game. You have to like the celebration at the end of the play. It's the spring game, so players have to work on everything, including their post-score performances. It looks like McSorley was going for either a golf swing or a baseball swing, but instead ended up mimicking a cricket player. He's got a few months to work on that.

It did not take long for Michael Dwumfour to announce his commitment after he de-committed from Penn State this morning. The New Jersey defensive tackle will be playing his college football at Michigan. This news is not a surprise: Dwumfour took an official visit to Michigan, and the Wolverines are also expected to receive a commitment from Dwumfour's friend, 5-star defensive tackle Rashan Gray.

— pennstateWREST (@pennstateWREST) January 19, 2016
Penn State's Zain Retherford, top-ranked at 149lbs, earned Big Ten Wreslter of the Week, following two brutal beatings he dished out to the 5th and 4th ranked wrestlers in his class. Zain scored 5 takedowns against Nebraska's #5 Jake Sueflohn on Friday night on his way to a 12-3 major decision. Then he took a bus to Chicago and whipped #4, Northwestern's Jason Tsirtsis, with 6 takedowns in a 15-5 major. Authorities admit that there doesn't appear to be an end in sight to his murderous spree.

After his 39 save performance against Wisconsin this past weekend, this is well-deserved. McAdam has arguably been the best goalie in the Big Ten so far this season.
