Four-star linebacker Dylan Rivers from Virginia announced that he is Penn State’s second commit in the Class of 2017, joining quarterback Sean Clifford. Rivers attended the game and took to Twitter to let everyone know he’s the newest addition to Linebacker U.

Very proud and thankful to announce my commitment to Penn State University! #WeAre #LBU pic.twitter.com/0rpN8c44cb

247 predicted that it’s a 50-50 decision for Rivers between Penn State and Virginia Tech. It also notes that he’s the No. 231 player in the nation, No. 16 outside linebacker, and No. 9 player from Virginia.

Welcome to the family, Dylan!
