Four-Star LB Josh Barajas Commits to Penn State
Who said Penn State wouldn’t be able to recruit top linebackers after the departure of defensive line coach and recruiter extraordinaire Larry Johnson?
After an unofficial visit on March 22, four-star linebacker Josh Barajas committed to Penn State Sunday afternoon.
