Christian Hackenberg returns to the place that cemented his status as an elite blue-chip quarterback recruit, except this time, he'll be instructing rather than competing.
James Franklin and his staff have been on a hot streak with recruiting recently, and it doesn't look like that trend will stop any time soon, as they just picked up a commitment from four-star defensive end Daniel Joseph, from Lake Forest, Illinois. Joseph is the class' second defensive end recruit, along with Shane Simmons, one of the classes first, and most touted recruits.
After a busy week for football, with recruits, student tickets, and more game time announcements, James Franklin gave fans even more to be excited about with a fantastic hype video.
The 6-foot, 270 pound Maryland native had 21 offers and was choosing between Virginia Tech, Maryland, and Penn State.
The student section that Kirk Herbstreit called "as good as there is in the country" will once again, of course, be full at every home game.
Make that commit No. 13 for James Franklin and the Penn State football program. Franklin and his staff were able to lure three-star defensive tackle Christian Colon (Independence/Charlotte, NC) away from in-state schools Charlotte and UNC today, as the behemoth defensive tackle gave his verbal commitment to Penn State.
