Three-Star Linebacker Tyler Elsdon Commits To Penn State
Penn State football added a new recruit to its class of 2020 when three-star linebacker Tyler Elsdon pledged to play for the Nittany Lions Tuesday.
Elsdon, an inside linebacker from Ashland, Pennsylvania, checks in at 6’3″ and 215 pounds. He plays his high school ball at North Schuylkill High School in his hometown and has helped his team post an 11-3 record during his junior year.
The newest member of Penn State’s incoming recruiting class also lists himself as a fullback on his Hudl profile, and he had received offers from West Virginia, Army, and Buffalo, among others. He’s the 13th hard commit in the Nittany Lions’ class of 2020, which now ranks No. 19 in the nation and fourth in the Big Ten.
Elsdon is the 14th-best player from Pennsylvania available in this recruiting cycle and the No. 45 inside linebacker in the nation. He’s one of two linebackers and the first inside linebacker to pick Penn State this cycle, joining four-star headliner Curtis Jacobs. Fellow blue-chip prospect Derek Wingo was also a Penn State commit, but he flipped to Florida months after making his initial pledge to James Franklin’s program.
