Three Penn State Recruits To Play In All-American Games
Three members of Penn State’s 2020 recruiting class will get their chance to shine on the big stage in two All-American games before starting their college careers in Happy Valley.
Four-star defensive back Enzo Jennings and four-star linebacker Curtis Jacobs were chosen to play in the Under Armour All-America Game, while four-star wide receiver KeAndre Lambert will participate in the All-American Bowl. Both games will be held during the first week of January.
Jennings, a 6’1,” 185-pound athlete listed as a cornerback on the UA All-America website, was a two-way player in high school and helped his Oak Park, Michigan high school team achieve an 8-2 record in 2019.
From a Penn State alum to a future @PennStateFball star, congrats to @_enzoj on being an Under Armour All-American.
