Franks becomes the 15th member of the Nittany Lions’ 2019 recruiting class and is the third offensive lineman of the group. He joins a class that includes four-star quarterback Michael Johnson Jr., who committed to Penn State Wednesday.

The Maryland native elected to play for James Franklin over his hometown Terrapins, Pitt, and Rutgers, among others. He will finish his high school career with Gilman School, the same all-boys private school in Baltimore that current Nittany Lion Ellison Jordan attended.

Penn State officially offered Franks, the sixteenth-best prospect from the state of Maryland in this recruiting cycle, on June 23 during his first visit to Happy Valley. He unofficially visited again during Lasch Bash on July 28 before committing on Thursday afternoon.

About the Author

Mikey Mandarino

In the most upsetting turn of events, Mikey graduated from Penn State with a digital & print journalism degree in the spring of 2020. He covered Penn State football and served as an editor for Onward State from 2018 until his graduation. Mikey is from Bedminster, New Jersey, so naturally, he spends lots of time yelling about all the best things his home state has to offer. Mikey also loves to play golf, but he sucks at it because golf is really hard. If you, for some reason, feel compelled to see what Mikey has to say on the internet, follow him on Twitter @Mikey_Mandarino.
