Just a few hours after James Franklin’s staff earned the commitment of the class of 2018’s Micah Parsons, another recruit verbally committed to the program.

Three-star defensive end Damion Barber from Harrisburg will join the D-line of the future after announcing his commitment on Twitter. He had offers from Iowa State, Massachusetts, Old Dominion, and Pitt, but 247Sports predicted that he’d end up in the premier program in his home state. He joins Sean Clifford and Dylan Rivers in Penn State’s upcoming recruiting class, and his early commitment indicates that he may end up as one of the leaders in recruiting his peers.

Thanks to all my friends nd family but I am happy to say that I am committed to the university of penn state #WeAre pic.twitter.com/ssV1q8EJU5
