Penn State coach reveals team dropped a prospect because of his 'social media presence'

Penn State offensive line coach and run game coordinator Herb Hand is one of the more entertaining college coaches with respect to his social media presence. He has the medium figured out.

Apparently, a potential recruit for the Nittany Lions does not have his social media game figured out, as Hand announced the school dropped its pursuit of the recruit because of his presence on social media.

There's no word as to which recruit is the guilty party in this incident, but that has to serve as warning to other student-athletes about what they put out there.
