Let’s ask the question up front: does Penn State have a perception problem?
Just in the last couple weeks, Penn State missed on five star recruit Julian Fleming, and just yesterday, lost out on offensive lineman commit Grant Toutant. Both players are currently committed to play for Ohio State.
This isn’t exactly news - Penn State and Ohio State have often fought over the same recruits, and the Lions are used to the team from the west snagging players.
But it seems as if these last two recruiting misses come with an air of doubt around the program.
