Blessed & Honored: Linebacker Target Returns to Campus, Defensive End Target Set to Commit & More
In-state three-star linebacker Phil Picciotti has long been a top MIKE linebacker target for the Nittany Lions. After visiting multiple other schools this spring Picciotti returned to Happy Valley to check out a spring practice this past weekend.
Picciotti attends Pennridge High School, the alma mater of current Nittany Lion defensive end Nick Tarburton. The Nittany Lions are comfortably among the current leaders for Picciotti and are likely in his current top two along with Oklahoma. While there is no timeline in his recruitment it would not be a surprise to see Picciotti end up in Penn State’s class whenever his recruitment does come to an end.
