Penn State HC James Franklin Mistakenly FaceTimes Fan on National Signing Day

National signing day is a blur for college football coaches, most of whom spend the majority of the day tracking down recruits and struggling to stabilize their blood pressure.

Penn State's James Franklin was one such coach especially wrapped up in the frenzy, working hard to close the deal on a formidable Nittany Lions recruiting class.

Somewhere in the fray, however, lines were crossed, and Franklin ended up contacting a dumbstruck fan while attempting to reach a new Penn State signee.

Franklin posted video of the incident Thursday. He was trying to call defensive end prospect Shareef Miller but instead found himself FaceTiming with Aleem Medley, a random Penn State fan.

ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg spoke to Franklin and Miller about the unexpected conversation. The coach said a one-digit misdial might've caused the errant call.

"I guess we were off a digit," Franklin told Rittenberg. "This guy comes on the screen and we're trying to call Shareef Miller and I'm thinking, 'This must be Shareef's older brother or someone I haven't met yet,' and the guy's got a huge smile on his face."

Suffice it to say, Medley didn't foresee the impromptu conference coming.

"It was Coach Franklin," Medley told Rittenberg. "They had all the balloons in the background. I'm like, 'Coach?' … That was the best news I had in a while. I'm on cloud nine right now."

Unfortunately, Medley proved to be out of eligibility and could not slide into Miller's role on the D-line.

It's all good, Medley. Coach just wanted to keep you on your toes.

Dan is on Twitter, awaiting the call.
