so the backup plan to waters is this kid tyler ferguson from cali (http://goo.gl/MHhMG). he's the #2 juco qb behind god-boy. well, the story here is quite interesting (especially the last hour or so).

psu hadn't offered him because we were waiting for waters to decide and didn't have the scholarship to offer. we had been in close contact with ferguson, but the kid was looking into his future so he had made trips/visits to other schools (as he should). welp, right after the waters announcement, it started to leak that ferguson had committed to houston. huge kick in the balls.... UNTIL...

OK... so. Here we go.

Justin Hopkins was contacted by Tyler Ferguson's coach this morning to tell him that Ferguson had committed to Houston. Hopkins reported the commitment, and all was good. Ten minutes later, the coach called him back asking him not to report on it (he obviously did not know that it had already been reported), because 'Penn State may be offering.' That's the latest I have on that, Penn State may be making some calls as we speak regarding Ferguson. We're monitoring the situation.

From what I understand, if Penn State offers, he'll be a Nittany Lion.

12:14 p.m. Update: Sources indicate that Penn State is trying to get him to campus this weekend for an official visit.

12:31 p.m. update: Penn State has offered Tyler Ferguson.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Ferguson broke a number of school records this season, passing for 2,650 and 26 touchdowns, while completing 60 percent of his passes. His squad, however, didn't fare as well.

"As a team, it was kind of a tale of two seasons," he said. "We started off 4-0 and really looked unbeatable, on our defense we have five guys going D1, and on offense we were putting up 60-70 points a game. In week five, we lost in the last second and we just went downhill from there and lost the last six."

Coming out of Ridgeview High School in Bakersfield, Ferguson split time as a starter his junior year and then missed more than half of his senior season. He was, however, selected to play in the Cal-State All-Star Game in December.

"I broke my collar bone my senior year and had surgery, that just scared off everybody," he said. "That's understandable, nobody wants a quarterback coming off of shoulder surgery. Now I'm back stronger than I was before it was even broke, so it all worked out in the end."

Ferguson will have four years to play three starting in January.
