This kid is a strong young man. He could play a couple of positions if his quarterback pathway to starter is blocked.
Rivals Scouting Director on four-star QB James Armstrong: 'This is a nice get for Penn State'
What should Penn State fans expect to see from new quarterback commit James Armstrong? Rivals Scouting Director Charles Power breaks him down.
Just to keep this on the board required downer side, I hope they get somebody for him to throw to.
Armstrong is a good name for a QB. Plus, Big Game James as a nickname. 
JVP would surely have him earmarked for LB.
Still think Jim Kelly would have been a helluva defensive player! He probably could have been a famous NFL pro bowler or something!
We also have a decent track record with other PPG Athlete of the Year award winners (LaVar, Sean Lee)
On that same note, the only WPIAL athlete to ever win it as a sophomore - not even names like Lavar, Lee, Pryor, Revis, Marino, McConnell, Rutherford, Short. That's a serious accomplishment.
Saw it mentioned he's also a star basketball player averaging 20 points as a Soph. Not mentioned, he batted over .400 during his high school baseball season as well.
We could potentially be talking one of the premier athletes to come out of the state of PA. Huge get.
Athleticaly this young man is off the charts!
Is it any coincidence that he committed the day after the adidas deal kicked in?Hopefully, Armstrong won’t strong-arm PSU for NIL.
It does lineup with his camp visit and such, but definitely wondered the same. Legit seems like a nice kid though. He will be a great ambassador for this class.Is it any coincidence that he committed the day after the adidas deal kicked in?
I get what you're saying but he'd just transfer to play QB somewhere else
Tom, have you considered retiring the “we are better” phrase since that was the slogan of our former coach?
Sorry, he played in the city league. But he still won the PPG Athlete of the Year Award.
Judging from what I'm being led to believe he doesn't seem to be that kind of kid and is already actively helping to recruit his class.Hopefully, Armstrong won’t strong-arm PSU for NIL.
I really do not like the simple analysis that Kelly was not a winner because he lost 4 Super Bowls. if the kicker makes a field goal then Kelly becomes a better QB? they lost twice to a stacked Cowboy Team and once to a very good Redskin team. The Bills were the best team in the AFC for about 6 years in a row.....pretty impressive. Look at the rosters of the teams that beat the Bills......all of them should have beaten the Bills. Ask Dan Marino about Superbowl wins.........
The Bills should have played Kelly at LB.
Armstrong is only one year behind Wood. He is not going to sit behind Wood.
So what does the future at QB look like?
'27 probably a portal or Manske possibly? Falzone?
'28 Wood seems to be the guy
'29 Armstrong vs Wood
