Penn State has found its replacement for David Corley.

Former Purdue interim head coach Gerad Parker was announced as the team's new wide receivers coach.

"We are excited to add Gerad to our staff," James Franklin told goPSUsports.com. "He has a comprehensive background and knows the Big Ten. He is a terrific fit for our staff, university and community. He has a great opportunity to come in and make a significant impact both on and off the field with a very talented position group! Gerad played wide receiver in the SEC and has shown he is a great teacher of the position, as well. His wide receiver groups have been able to overachieve throughout his coaching career."

Parker joins the Nittany Lions after two seasons at Duke, most recently serving as wide receivers coach during the 2018 season.

Before Duke, Parker spent four years at Purdue, coaching tight ends for during his first two seasons and wide receivers in his last two, while also being named interim head coach during the 2016 season after Darrell Hazell was fired mid-season.

In February of 2017, Parker was arrested after allegedly driving under the influence. He was pulled over after driving the wrong way down a one-way street and was charged with operating a vehicle with a BAC above .08. He was taken into custody and released later the same day.
