STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- The signees' breakdown continues now with defense.
You can find the overview of the offensive signees here. And, once again, here's a list of the early enrollees that are not included here.
LB Troy Reeder (Wilmington, Del./Salesianum)
Four-stars (Scout grade: 81), No. 25 at position
Committed: Feb. 26, 2013
Top offers: Miami (Fla.), Pitt, Rutgers
Synopsis: He's an All-American lacrosse player who originally committed to play the sport at powerhouse North Carolina before opting for football and Penn State. He'll likely play in the middle, and he could be next in line for a spot when Mike Hull graduates.
Scouting report: A big, strong physical prospect and a jumbo athlete of sorts who can run for his size and make plays with ball skills.
LB/S Koa Farmer (Sherman Oaks, Calif./Notre Dame)
Three stars (Scout grade: 78), No. 72 at ATH position
Committed: Jan. 25, 2014
Top offers: Cal, Utah, Washington
Synopsis: He could play either safety or linebacker -- or a hybrid of both. He was the first Cal commit of the 2014 class, but defensive coordinator Bob Shoop helped sway him and an official visit clinched it. He wants to eventually earn a Ph.D. in pathology.
Scouting report: Shows flashes on defense as a high-point safety who would likely need to move to strong or nickel linebacker.
DB Daquan Worley (Coatesville, Pa./Coatesville)
Three stars (Scout grade: 77), No. 82 at ATH position
Committed: May 2, 2013
Top offers: Georgia Tech, Pitt, Rutgers
Synopsis: He tore the ACL in his right knee in October, and that ended quite the senior season for Worley. The two-way athlete rushed for 1,246 yards -- averaging 9.6 yards a carry -- and he does have an outside shot to play at tailback at the next level. PSU discovered him after initially recruiting linebacker teammate Tyler Burke.
Scouting report: Worley is not going to blow you away with size or speed measurables on paper, but he brings a lot of versatility to the table.
S Marcus Allen (Upper Marlboro, Md./Wise)
Three stars (Scout grade: 77), No. 61 at position
Committed: May 10, 2013
Top offers: Clemson, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest
Synopsis: Allen began his career as an undersized linebacker and thought the varsity coach was crazy when he wanted to promote Allen through junior varsity as a safety. After a lot of convincing, Allen agreed to play a 7-on-7 game at safety following his freshman season. He ended up with three picks -- and never played linebacker again.
Scouting report: Improved man-to-man skills will really enhance his stock.
CB Grant Haley (Atlanta, Ga./The Lovett School)
Three stars (Scout grade: 76), No. 41 at position
Committed: Jan. 20, 2014
Top offers: Florida, South Carolina, Vanderbilt
Synopsis: Yes, he was a Vanderbilt flip -- but his mother actually attended Penn State in the 1980s. Franklin anticipated him returning kicks at Vanderbilt, so Haley could be a critical part on special teams, too.
Scouting report: An elusive and dynamic running back on offense with natural change-of-direction and movements.
LB Jason Cabinda (Flemington, N.J./Hunterdon Central)
Three stars (Scout grade: 74), No. 119 at ATH position
Committed: Oct. 23, 2013
Top offers: Boston College, Maryland, Syracuse
Synopsis: Ron Vanderlinden spent a lot of time with Cabinda during a summer camp and, when Jared Wangler decommitted in favor of Michigan, that opened up the spot for Cabinda, who was a Syracuse pledge. Syracuse contacted him again after Bill O'Brien left, but Cabinda didn't budge.
Scouting report: He could easily be the big back teams look for, or also be projected as a a solid standup LB.
DL Torrence Brown (Tuscaloosa, Ala./Tuscaloosa Academy)
Three stars (Scout grade: 73), No. 130 at OLB position
Committed: Feb. 5, 2014
Top offers: Southern Miss, N.C. State, Northern Illinois
Synopsis: If there was any sort of surprise on signing day, Brown was the closest thing to it. He received an offer the day before he planned to sign with Southern Miss -- and flipped to the Nittany Lions. He takes the spot of DE Lloyd Tubman, who flipped from Vandy to PSU, then flipped again to Kentucky.
Scouting report : This is a developmental size prospect who will need time and a redshirt year prior to challenging for playing time at the major level of competition.
CB Amani Oruwariye (Tampa, Fla./Gaither)
Three stars (Scout grade: 73), No. 76 at position
Committed: Jan. 30, 2014
Top offers: Louisville, Nebraska, Vanderbilt
Synopsis: He's another Vanderbilt flip. He's tall for a corner, at 6-foot-1, and he played some receiver -- but he's a DB through and through. Since his sophomore season, he's tallied a dozen interceptions.
Scouting report: He is of ideal height and, with time on his side, he should be able to bulk up, which will help his playing strength and confidence in run support.
S Christian Campbell (Phenix City, Ala./Central)
Three stars (Scout grade: 72), No. 127 at position
Committed: Feb. 3, 2014
Top offers: Missouri, Minnesota, Memphis
Synopsis: Campbell was set to pick between Minnesota, Indiana and Syracuse before before Penn State entered the race. He took some heat on Twitter for the choice, but said that Franklin had been recruiting him even before the Gophers and Hoosiers. He was a surprise pickup for PSU.
Scouting report: Many lower-level BCS programs should envy his toughness and admire the attitude and physicality he will bring to a program.
