"It's not very often you have a man who played for you and becomes head coach of a prestigious university like Penn State," said Sheila Murphy, Neshaminy Hall of Fame committee member.

Murphy said Franklin will likely give advice to parents and coaches about college football.

The dinner, which will be followed by comments and a meet-and-greet opportunity with both coaches, is $55 per person and open to all, except high school players per NCAA rules.
