going into 2013. The changes that O'Brien is bring- ing to the offense might minimize the impact of Zordich's departure, but with only Belton, Dukes, Lynch, Redd and Zwinak returning to the projected 2013 scholarship roster, it seems likely the Nittany Lions will try to sign two running backs in their upcoming class. The two at the top of the list are Pennsylvania's No. 1-rated running back David Williams of Imhotep Charter High in Philadelphia and four-star prospect Corey Clement of Glassboro, N.J. So far, O'Brien and his staff have issued verbal scholar- ship offers to eight 2013 running backs. TOP PROSPECT David Williams SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE 2 WIDE RECEIVER SCHOLARSHIPS 10: Justin Brown (Sr./Sr.), Devon Smith (Sr./Sr.), Christian Kuntz (Sr./Jr.), Shawney Kersey (Sr./Jr.), Brandon Moseby- Felder (Sr./Jr.), Allen Robinson (Jr./So.), Alex Kenney (Jr./So.), Matt Zanellato (So./Fr.), Eugene Lewis (Fr./Fr.), Jonathan Warner (Fr./Fr.) and Trevor Williams (Fr./Fr.) OUTLOOK With Brown and Smith graduating after the upcoming sea- son, and Kersey, Kuntz and Mose- by-Felder set to use their final year of eligibility in 2013, it seems quite possible that Penn State will want to sign two or three wide receivers next February. The top wide receiver targets on its board are Robert Foster of Central Valley High in Monaca, Pa., Paul Harris of Frederick Douglas High in Upper Marlboro, N.J., and Tyler Boyd of Clairton, Pa. Foster is rated by Rivals as the 26th-best overall prospect in the country. TOP PROSPECT Robert Foster SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE 3 TIGHT END SCHOLARSHIPS 6: Garry Gilliam (Sr./Jr.), Kevin Haplea (Jr./Jr.), Dakota Royer (Jr./So.), Kyle Carter (So./Fr.), Jesse James (Fr./Fr.) and Brent Wilkerson (Fr./Fr.) OUTLOOK Penn State already has a verbal commitment from Breneman in hand, and there are six other as- piring tight ends on the roster. So it's not hard to figure out what's go- ing to happen here. The Lions are going to sign one tight end next February, and it's going to be Bren- eman. Jordan Kerner, who is coming off the ACL injury he suffered last Sep- tember during his freshman year, has been moved to defensive end. That gives the Nittany Lions six tight ends in addition to Breneman for the 2013 season.
