Penn State Nittany Lions continue recruiting turnaround, get commit from ESPN No. 180 Cristian Driver

After finishing the 2021 recruiting cycle outside of the top 25 in the class rankings, Penn State has had a massive turnaround in 2022 with the most ESPN 300 commitments of any FBS program.

ESPN 300 safety Cristian Driver was the latest to commit to the Nittany Lions on Thursday, giving the program 13 ESPN 300 commits in the class.

Driver, who is the son of former NFL wide receiver Donald Driver, is ranked No. 180 overall and chose Penn State over offers from Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M, among others.
