BWI Was there one school that gave Penn State the biggest challenge? Who did this really come down to? EUBANKS You know, I'm not sure. That's a good question. I did my research on a lot of schools, but I got the most quality answers from Penn State. Not even just from the coaches, but just from everyone I've been hearing from. I went to high school in Wyndmoor, Pa., at La Salle College High School. So many Penn State alums come from there, so I was reaching out to those guys. I'm reaching out to players, I'm reaching out to students who I know there. So it was easy for me to get answers about Penn State. I like to be well-informed when I make big decisions. I really don't think another school came close when it came down to it. BWI I've seen your name mentioned as someone who could get an opportunity at the professional level. When you were at Shippensburg, did NFL scouts show interest in you? Were they reaching out to your coach? EUBANKS There's de)nitely been some interest from several NFL teams. I didn't talk to them personally, but my coach was letting me know that teams were in- terested. There were a couple teams there were supposed to come up to Ship- pensburg the day that we got back from spring break. They wanted me to run a 40, check my height, my weight, do the Wonderlic test, all of that. But when we went home for spring break, obviously, we never came back. The teams then pulled all their scouts o* the road, and that just never ended up happening. BWI I know you put up some impres- sive times running track in high school. Do you have any recent measurements that you can share? Have you run the 40 lately? Have you done a vertical, a shut- tle, anything like that? EUBANKS Honestly, I don't know them o* the top of my head. I did do the vir- tual combine for Penn State, but I don't remember what my times were. BWI What did you think of Penn State's virtual combine? I've only talked to a handful of guys who have com- pleted it. EUBANKS Yeah, I thought it de)nitely made sense for me, because I was al- ready anticipating doing that. Once they announced that our season was going to be canceled, I )gured I'm not going to have a pro day or anything like that, I'm not going to get advice on how to do those combine drills, so I'm going to have to do something virtual. So I was already training for it. Then it just so happened that Penn State asked me to do a virtual combine, so it gave me a feel for what I should be doing, and it gave me a chance to show them what I can do. It worked out well for me. ■ NAME HT WT RATING HOME SCHOOL Donovan Edwards 5-11 193 ★★★★ West Bloomfield, Mich. West Bloomfield Audric Estime 5-11 210 ★★★★ Montvale, N.J.
