Penn State’s 2021 signee Lonnie White Jr will not be making his way to Happy Valley to join the Penn State football program. On Monday, the Malvern Prep multi-sport standout will be signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was first reported by Joseph Santoloquito of PhillyVoice on Sunday evening that White planned on putting pen to paper, Monday. White was drafted 64th overall by the Pirates in this month’s Major League Baseball Draft on July 12th.
On the gridiron, White was a four-star prospect and one of the crown gems of the Nittany Lion’s 2021 recruiting class, ranked as the 168th overall prospect by 247Sports’s composite ranking as well the 27th ranked wide receiver and seventh-best player in the state of Pennsylvania.
