Just in: Former Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman is officially returning to Penn State University to take over as New head football coach.
This marks a dramatic full-circle moment for Freeman, who previously served as a defensive coordinator and assistant across various programs before rising to prominence at Notre Dame. After his recent departure from the Fighting Irish, speculation swirled about his next move—now confirmed as a return to a school with deep Big Ten roots and championship aspirations.
Freeman will replace former Penn State head coach James Franklin, whose tenure ended amid increasing pressure for postseason results. Known for his defensive mind, strong recruiting background, and leadership qualities, Freeman’s arrival is expected to inject new energy into the Nittany Lions program as they chase relevance on the national stage.
