We'll start with news about Franklin, who has changed agents, according to FootballScoop.
The Nittany Lions leader was represented by Trace Armstrong for a number of years, but sources told the outlet that he's switched to super-agent Jimmy Sexton.
It's unclear when the move was made and why, but it's being talked about a bunch this morning.

Quote of the day
“When he comes to the sidelines, I’m picking his mind about everything because he’s seeing things so well and I know he’s going to be spot on. It’s so refreshing as a coach to have that because I recognize it’s not normal. This isn’t a once in every 10 years kind of player. This is a once in a lifetime kind of player for any coach.”
--Central York coach Gerry Yonchiuk about PSU QB commit Beau Pribula.
