**Penn State football has sent out a couple of offers. One is to Class of 2022 4-star LB TJ Dudley (6-2, 210) from Montgomery, Ala. He also has offers from Alabama, Clemson and Auburn, so he certainly would be a good get for the Lions.

Dotson also caught eight passes for 108 yards. He became just the third Big Ten player since 2000 with at least 100 yards receiving and a punt return for a TD in the same game. This was the first Big Ten special teams honor for Dotson in his career.
**Saint Francis senior Mark Flagg was named the Northeast Conference Prime Performer of the week as he had 13 points and a career-high 14 rebounds in the Red Flash’s loss at Mount St. Mary’s. Flagg recorded the second double-double of his career in the game.
Saint Francis had a positive COVID test that forced the cancellation of its game Saturday at Saint Bonaventure. The Red Flash’s two NEC home games scheduled for this week at home against Fairleigh Dickinson have been postponed and will be played Jan. 26 and 27.
