James Franklin won’t be traveling on the Coaches Caravan alone.
Penn State has put together a roster of familiar faces who will be joining Franklin on his two week journey this May.
According to a university news release, the first set of head coaches participating in the Penn State Coaches Caravan will include Char Morett (field hockey), Russ Rose (women’s volleyball), Cael Sanderson (wrestling), Erica Walsh (women’s soccer) and Bob Warming (men’s soccer). They’re all scheduled to join Franklin at selected events.
Additional head coaches and football assistant coaches also will attend Coaches Caravan events and will be announced in early April. Both men’s hockey and basketball coaches Guy Gadowsky and Patrick Chambers are expected to make their return to the caravan as well.
Registration is underway for the general public at GoPSUsports.com. Registration is required in order to attend any of the sessions.
The opening event during the first week of the Penn State Coaches Caravan – the May 6 lunch at Penn State York – is sold out. A crowd of more than 200 will be in attendance there.
