In the second part of our series on re-ranking James Franklin’s recruiting classes at Penn State, we take a look at his first full recruiting class. The recruiting class of 2015 which featured some of Penn State’s most popular players and overall was a great class from top to bottom that provided the program with tremendous depth.
At the time, the recruiting class featured 25 commitments, including 11 from the Keystone State. James Franklin made it a priority to “Dominate the State” and Penn State did just that in 2015. The Nittany Lions signed six of the top 10 players in the state that cycle.
