Spring practice updates

◊ Not only is spring practice officially underway in Happy Valley, it's about 60 degrees here in Northern Virginia, which is making me just crazy to get out and watch some football. Here's some of the latest updates on Penn State football, with only FOUR weeks until the Blue White Game.

The two biggies, Blue White Illustrated and Fight On State, have been gushing with spring practice stuff this week, yet it's still not enough for us!

• In Thursday's Inside Look (BWI - Phil's Inside Look 3/26) BWI breaks down their own two-deep depth chart following the first day's workouts. FOS took its own crack at the two-deep, looking at the defense (Def. 2-deep) and offense (Off. 2-deep) separately.

• One thing to note, which may seem small but isn't, is the movement of Mike Zordich. Phil at BWI had Zordich at fullback, which is where we were told for months he would be. FOS's breakdown of the two-deep didn't even go into the fullbacks.

But in FOS's first day report from yesterday, Zordich is now working out where we all hoped and expected he would, at linebacker (FOS - First day report 3/26). That was his natural position coming out of high school.

In his place at fullback, the staff moved Shaine Thompson from linebacker.

• True frosh Gerald Hodges is out sick, probably with mono (FOS - First day report 3/26).

• This afternoon, following practice, a formal spring depth chart could be released, but no one knows for sure. Check back here later to see!
