The addition of four star running back Noah Cain is a big one for the Nittany Lions. He will join fellow early signee and four star running back <strong>Devyn Ford<\/strong> as the second running back in the 2019 class. He signed his NLI on ESPN2 this morning after visiting Happy Valley in November for the Wisconsin game. <strong>Mark Allen<\/strong> and <strong>Jonathan Thomas<\/strong> are graduating and exhausting their eligibility and Miles Sanders is potentially leaving for the NFL draft a year early.<\/p>\n<p>Adding two four star running backs to the group was a goal for Penn State running backs coach <strong>Ja&#8217;Juan Seider<\/strong> that just came to fruition. He will have the ability to learn from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/ricky-slade-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ricky Slade<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/journey-brown-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Journey Brown<\/a> before stepping onto the field in Beaver Stadium.

Holmes<\/a> is also be a guy to look to. While picking up the Penn State hat Cain stated, &#8220;For the next three or four years I&#8217;ll be at Penn State.&#8221; He went on to add, &#8220;They&#8217;re building something special up there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cain is definitely something special. The new Nittany Lion ran for 3,751 yards in his high school career. He also piled up 47 touchdowns and was voted co-MVP of his team his senior season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Penn State fans and coaches got a surprise on the first day of the early signing period.
