James Franklin and Penn State’s staff picked up commitments from 2020 and 2021 prospects last weekend — but Wednesday’s focus is on 2019.
The Nittany Lions secured 19 signatures in December’s early signing period; 18 were announced at the time, with defensive tackle D’Von Ellies declaring his already-made choice at January’s Polynesian Bowl. Since the Citrus Bowl, three-star defensive linemen Smith Vilbert and Joseph Appiah Darkwa picked Penn State, leaving a few spots still available in the class.
So, how will Franklin fill them? There are several pieces in play, and decisions will be made Wednesday. Before the hats are selected, we spoke to 247 Sports reporter Tyler Donohue to break down Penn State’s National Signing Day status.
