New Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles seems to be hitting all the right notes in his first week with the Nittany Lions. Penn State football’s social media account posted a video Tuesday of Knowles, the former Ohio State DC, addressing the PSU team.

Knowles would fill the void on Penn State’s staff left by Tom Allen, who accepted the same position with Clemson earlier this month.

Nittany Lions coach James Franklin has said he wants to hire an expert in contracts and negotiations for the 'next generation' of college football.
