Just a day after adding who I thought would be the last recruit for this year’s class, Penn State added another when Nashville, Tenn., linebacker Brad Bars verbally pledged to the Nittany Lions. Defensive line coach Larry Johnson flew to Nashville on Thursday to meet with Bars and extend him a scholarship offer. Bars accepted [...]
No surprise here, Erie athlete Shyquawn Pullium verbally committed to Penn State today. Pullium, a three-star prospect recruited by PSU as a cornerback, picked the Nittany Lions over offers from Cincinnati, Maryland, Pittsburgh and Toledo. Pullium, who is the 19th player to verbal to the Lions, took an official visit to Penn State two weekends [...]
Chicago defensive tackle Bruce Gaston Jr., who Penn State extended a scholarship offer to last week, will not be a Nittany Lion. The 6-foot-2, 290-pound Gaston, rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals.com, was intrigued at first by PSU’s offer, but acknowledge that now, just over a week from signing day, is too late to [...]
Penn State has offered Bruce Gaston Jr., a defensive tackle out of Chicago. Gaston is rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals.com. It’s a bit surprising this late in the game, especially since Gaston says he plans on making a decision by next week. It means one of two things in my eyes: 1. Georgia [...]
Five-star running back Marcus Lattimore has eliminated Penn State from contention for his services. The Duncan, S.C., product is down to South Carolina, where he just took an official to this weekend, and Auburn as his final two choices. Lattimore will announced his decision the day before the Feb. 3 signing day. Penn State coach [...]
With the recent de-commitments by Adrian Coxson and Dominique Easley, a new name has surfaced on Penn State’s recruiting radar. Brice Schwab, a junior college offensive tackle from California, was a USC verbal up until earlier this week when Pete Carroll left the Trojans for the Seattle Seahawks. Schwab is now looking around and has [...]
It’s official, Adrian Coxson has de-committed from Penn State and will not be part of this year’s recruiting class. That leaves Penn State with 18 commits right now, seven of whom have already enrolled in school. There is no concrete reason why Coxson, a wide receiver from Baltimore, won’t be a Nittany Lion other than [...]
No surprise here, but junior linebacker Navorro Bowman declared his intention to enter the NFL draft today. Bowman is projected as a first-round pick and should test well at the combine and Penn State’s pro day. I expect him to go somewhere in the teens. Next up is whether or not junior running back Evan [...]
After de-committing from Penn State on Wednesday, Staten Island defensive end Dominique Easley verbally pledged to Florida at the Under Armor All-American Game on Saturday. Easley had said that his final three choices were Penn State, Miami and Oregon, which he took an official visit to on Dec. 4. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound recruit took an [...]
Usually, after a Penn State game, I go through each position and assess the Nittany Lions’ play, but after Penn State’s 19-17 victory over LSU in the Capital One Bowl I don’t feel grading the Lions’ performance would be fair to them. Did you see that field? How could either team do anything? That was [...]
