Penn State’s top target to replace defensive line coach Sean Spencer apparently wants to stay put.

FootballScoop reported on Monday that Texas A&M defensive line coach Elijah Robinson is planning to stay with the Aggies. The same site cited a source over the weekend in saying he was a “strong candidate” for the Lions’ opening.

“Source tells FootballScoop Texas A&M defensive line coach Elijah Robinson plans to remain at A&M,” the site said. “Robinson was a candidate to join Penn State’s staff.”

Robinson spent many years at Penn State as a player and coach. He’d later go on to coach with Matt Rhule at Baylor before joining head coach Jimbo Fisher’s staff in College Station.

Assuming the news is true, it means Penn State coach James Franklin will have to reset his search, as Robinson was believed to be the leading candidate and is the only coach whose name has been linked to the job.

Spencer confirmed Monday that he was leaving the Lions to become the New York Giants new defensive line coach after six seasons in State College.
