Last week, multiple outlets reported that the Nittany Lions made an offer to Jake Waters, Iowa Western's quarterback. Penn State quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher attended his practice last Tuesday, during the Nittany Lions' bye week. Iowa Western is the top-ranked junior college in the country.
Waters and Wimberly are roommates.
Last week, O'Brien addressed the issue of recruiting junior college players moving forward.
"We'll be interested in recruiting and taking a look at post-graduate guys at prep schools and junior college guys," O'Brien told reporters before practice on Wednesday. "The number one thing is they have to be good students and high character guys. That's number one."
