Penn State head coach James Franklin and his staff hosted a deep list of up-and-coming recruiting prospects for its game against Michigan this past weekend. In addition to those who have already committed, the Nittany Lions hosted 39 prospects who already earned a scholarship offer. Add in dozens of other prospects who are also earning offers from Division I schools and Saturday’s list was on par with what we saw earlier in the year for the games against West Virginia and Iowa. That’s impressive when you consider the game started at Noon.
So, who were the top prospects that we spotted on the sidelines? Fans can check out our recruiting photo gallery below.
