Blessed & Honored: 2020 Recruiting Preview — Linebacker and Secondary

We did the defensive front last Wednesday. Now, it’s time to check out the back seven for the 2020 class.

LINEBACKER — 3

Penn State already has two linebackers committed in Derek Wingo (Florida) and Curtis Jacobs (Maryland), but there’s definitely a need for one more. At the top of that list is assuredly five-star Antoine Sampah (Virginia). Sampah, like almost half of these 2020 prospects, was in Happy Valley for the Whiteout game against Ohio State. He hasn’t been back since, but with Penn State also going after his teammate — offensive guard Ryan Adams — it wouldn’t be a surprise to get Sampah back on campus sometime this spring.
