Penn State picks up 2019 commitment from top-tier Florida wideout

Penn State earned a blue-chip commit worthy of fireworks.

Four-star wide receiver John Dunmore — the No. 107 prospect in the country, per 247 Sports — picked the Nittany Lions on Wednesday, becoming the 11th member of a stellar 2019 recruiting class. Dunmore, the No. 19 overall wide receiver, is Penn State's first pass-catcher of this cycle.

Dunmore is also the Nittany Lions' first commit from the state of Florida since assistant coach Ja'Juan Seider joined the staff. When Seider — a former Gators assistant, Florida high school coach and Florida A&M star — was hired in February, head coach James Franklin said, "You don't hire Ja'Juan unless you're going to make a recruiting shift, and you don't hire Ja'Juan and not recruit Florida.
