Jim Knowles' schemes and results

At Ohio State, his 2024 defense led the nation in fewest points allowed and fewest yards allowed.
This season under Knowles, Penn State ranks 34th nationally in yards allowed and 37th in points allowed.

Why did he leave OSU after a natty and the #1 defense?
He said he wanted a new deal before the championship game. When that didn’t happen, he began exploring other opportunities. Soon after, he accepted an offer to become the defensive coordinator at Penn State Nittany Lion, reportedly with higher pay, so the move was voluntary on his part

Knowles is only going to work out if we spend bigly in the portal. Banks has us so far off with talent and poorly developed players it’s going to take some big time transfers

Joel Wyatt who is 6ft4in tall and weighs 200lbs but is dead set on playing Safety has this "strike/nickel" position written all over him. Hes gonna end up at least 220lbs but still very fast...and this hybrid Safety/LB looks like a position that was designed specifically for him. Wyatt was a 5* player when everyone wanted him as a WR...once he quit camping as a WR and instead went to elite athlete camps as a Safety (and committed to UT) he fell to a very high 4* guy but still a top100 player easily. He can be a monster in this scheme IMO. If he gets too big for that position he will just move forward a level on defense and play LB/Jack.

Wyatt and those 2 top 100 LBs we signed this year in White and Rouse should be ecstatic. Same for Spillman and the 2 Jadens also at LB.
Excellent observation
