Daquan Worley's father turned to him as they wandered the halls to Bill O'Brien's office during Friday's unofficial visit.

"You think it's going to happen?" the elder Worley asked, referring to a scholarship.

"I don't know," said Daquan, a cornerback out of Coatesville (Pa.) High School.

Worley found himself in this same spot two months before, a day before Penn State's junior day. O'Brien invited the 5-foot-10 cornerback inside his office that first time. Worley thought an offer would come, but O'Brien instead steered clear of scholarship talk. Worley worried this would be more of the same.
