The Frank Walker Law/PSN Daily Notebook- February 2

Update (9:03 AM)-
**It’s been a busy last 48 hours for a rising 2026 recruit. Peters Township 2026 defensive end/tight end Lucas Shanafelt received two new offers on Saturday- one from Liberty and the other from West Virginia, which becomes his 2nd Power 4 offer (Pitt). Also on Friday, Shanafelt received a visit at school from Penn State’s James Franklin and Terry Smith. They didn’t offer but he’s obviously on their radar.
Thank you @coachjfranklin and @CoachTerryPSU for stopping by! Excited to get onto campus soon! @PennStateFball @PetersTwpFB @Coach_Plack pic.twitter.com/L3QEsf9zOs
