Tom Luginbill has seen the game as a player, a coach and a personnel evaluator. Each year, ESPN’s national director of recruiting and his colleagues at Scouts, Inc. evaluate more than 3,000 high school prospects, from future NFL stars to those destined for FCS programs.
Luginbill took some time to talk to Nittany Network senior writer Jeff Rice about a variety of Penn State topics. Today, in the first of a three-part series, he breaks down the Nittany Lions’ six commitments and talks about some recent changes in their recruiting philosophy. Stay tuned for future installments.

Adrian Coxson: He’s the first guy you want getting off the bus (to intimidate the other team). He really passes the eye test -- tall, physical, put together. You look at him on tape, then watch him in person, and it’s the same type of skill set and production. Physically, he’s ready to play, but that’s not usually the determining factor, it’s how quickly you adapt to learning the game at the next level. If he handles adjustment, I think he can play as a true freshman.
