Effner joins Nana Asiedu and Antwan Reed — who both committed during Blue-White — after the decommitment of four-star OT Chris Bleich.
Effner chose the Nittany Lions ahead of other offers from Maryland and Minnesota. The 6’5″, 275-pound prospect is rated the 71st-best tackle in the nation, according to 247 sports.
Offensive line coach Matthew Limegrover tweeted following the original reports of Effner’s commitment that he’s excited to add another quality player to his group.
Extremely pumped to be making another HUGE addition to this outstanding group! #OLPride #Mindset2018 pic.twitter.com/nmAAkDDky2
