Terry Smith has coached numerous great corners in his time at Penn State.

Smith believes recent signee Zion Tracy could also be a special talent. Tracy, a 4-star CB out of Glen Head, NY, signed with Penn State on the first day of the Early Signing Period. Speaking during Early Signing Day, Smith hinted that Tracy could be a two-way player for the Nittany Lions.

“He’s a guy that based on the need of the team, if there was a dire need to play receiver, he could go play receiver,” said Smith. “As of now, I’m fighting to hold on and keep him in my room because he’s a tremendous asset for our room.”

Tracy is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the state of New York, and the No. 40 CB in the nation for the 2023 class. Tracy chose Penn State over Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rutgers, among others.
