The 'S' Zone

Penn State will hit the road to evaluate some prospects this evening

Penn State will take on Northwestern in its annual Homecoming matchup on what could be a gloomy Saturday afternoon in Happy Valley.

Welcome back to the 'S' Zone, a weekly collaboration of notes on the Nittany Lions and Penn State recruiting put together by Lions247 editor Sean Fitz, 247Sports.com National Recruiting Writer Steve Wiltfong and the newest addition to the team, Lions247 recruiting analyst Cory James.

This week, we take a look at the Nittany Lions' preparations for Northwestern, check in on a big night of evaluations, see where Penn State stands on offering a kicker and meet a 2013 athlete who could be coming onto the radar.
