Penn State Football Recruiting: PSU Makes Coveted 2016 Defensive End's Final Five

The Penn State Nittany Lions remain in the running for coveted 2016 Darien (IL) Hinsdale South defensive end Josh King, making the cut as King announced the final five schools in the running for his signature via Twitter last week:

While King says explicitly in his tweet that the list is in no order, experts speculate that the rival Michigan State Spartans have the inside track to pick up his pledge.

However, there's still plenty of time left to pick up King's signature, and a visit to Happy Valley could be all it takes to swing the talented pass rusher towards Penn State.

Stay tuned.
