Good morning Happy Valley and happy National Signing Day! Today is February 2, 2022. After a busy weekend and Monday for Penn State athletics, Tuesday was a bit quieter overall.

No major news occurred on Tuesday with only the Penn State Women's Golf team being active. The women's golf team defeated Rutgers on Tuesday morning in Big Ten Match Playdown in Palm Harbor, Florida at the Innisbrook Resort's Island Course. It was the final day of the two days down in Palm Harbor for Big Ten Match Play.

It's National Signing Day!

National Signing Day has arrived and while this day is not the spectacle it once was due to the early signing period, it's still a fun day full of celebration across the nation. For Penn State, only one commitment remains unsigned, that being Lackawanna College's Tyrece Mills.

That being said, the Nittany Lions are also in it for three-star offensive lineman Vega Ioane out of Graham-Kapowsin High School (WA). He announced a decision this late morning at 11:45 EST with finalists of Minnesota, Penn State, and Washington. The former Washington commitment has received three FutureCasts all from Nittany Nation writers in favor of Ioane signing with Penn State.

Ebiketie impresses in Senior Bowl practices

Penn State defensive lineman Arnold Ebiketie is in Mobile, Alabama for this week's senior bowl and is off to an impressive start. Multiple NFL Draft analysts have taken to Twitter to discuss Ebiketie and what he's shown in practices so far.

Ebiketie of course is not the only NIttany Lion down in Mobile, also at the Senior Bowl is CB Tariq Castro-Fields, LB Jesse Luketa, and P Jordan Stout. Both Jaquan Brisker and Jahan Dotson were originally slated to take part in the practices and game but both ultimately opted out.
