The recent recruiting momentum for Penn State continued on Thursday evening. This is because the Nittany Lions gained their sixth commitment in their 2018 recruiting class. The commitment came from quarterback Justin Fields.
Justin Fields is a native of Kennesaw, Georgia, and had been leaning toward the Nittany Lions for the past few months. In fact, he nearly committed to Penn State after visiting Happy Valley for the Nittany Lions’ victory over Iowa in November. With the commitment of Fields, 247 Sports now ranks Penn State’s 2018 recruiting class as the best class in the country.
