PSU Nittany Lions: Oklahoma Sooners
The RN Top 10 will appear throughout the camp and combine season and rank prospects based strictly on their on-field performance at that particular event. It does not reflect their overall prospect ranking.
ASHBURN, Va. – The East Coast and mid-Atlantic states represented well on Sunday as eight players earned invites to The Opening at the Nike Football Training Camp outside of Washington, D.C. Defense ruled the day, led by two five-star prospects from Virginia.
10. Nick Scott
Fairfax (Va.) Fairfax |RB| 5-11, 180
Scott stood out among a field of backs who were overshadowed by the prospects at nearly every other position. He earned the attention of coaches for his strong play and versatility but missed the MVP award, which went to Vincent Lowe (Chesapeake, Va./Grassfield), who also posted the top SPARQ score.
Scott committed to Penn State in February over an offer from Boston College.
ESPN national recruiting analyst Craig Haubert’s take: “He’s got a great frame, and what I like about him as a Penn State verbal, he’s a versatile player. He may not run by you, but he does a good job in route-running.”

Red Bank (N.J.) Catholic coach Jim Portela says his junior offensive tackle Quenton Nelson will be able to handpick his college choice from some of the country's elite programs. It might not be long before he can include Oklahoma among them.
Portela said Monday night he was on the phone with coaches from Oklahoma. The Sooners are interested in the 6-foot-5, 285-pound two-way lineman.
"They like him a lot," Portela said. "They're new to recruiting him. He'll be an offer kid for a lot of guys."

Even though Justin Brown has moved on, making an instant impact for the Sooners, the former Penn State star has watched his former teammates stumble to an 0-2 start with disappointing losses to Ohio and Virginia.
The 17-16 loss to the Cavaliers was particularly heartbreaking as PSU kicker Sam Ficken missed a game-winner at the end of regulation.
“I shot him a text,” Brown said of Ficken, who missed four field goals in the loss. “You definitely have your heart out to those guys seeing what they’re going through.”
Brown has six receptions for 87 yards and six punt returns for 132 yards in his first two games as a Sooner. He was one of several former Penn State players who elected to transfer after the Big Ten school was hit with NCAA sanctions and said he continues to talk to several of his former teammates, both at PSU and across the nation.
