Penn State EDGE Max Granville offers insight into what it's like to be recruited by Deion Barnes

We live in a world of immediate feedback. Whether it's social media, internet search engines, or instant communication with friends and family, we don't wait much for information anymore. So when it comes to a long-form process like recruiting and coaching in college football, there's a natural urge to make snap judgments on surface information. New coaches, like Penn State defensive line coach Deion Barnes, face scrutiny if they don't produce immediate results. For the Class of 2025, Barnes' first full recruiting class, he didn't commit until the end of June. Then he secured three edge defenders, including four-star edge rusher Max Granville, within a week.
