Penn State may have secured the quarterback of its defense for years to come Monday, as it received a commitment from inside linebacker Ellis Brooks:
According to Scout.com, Brooks is a 4-star recruit and rates as the No. 15 inside linebacker in his class, as well as the No. 1 inside linebacker from the state of Virginia.
The Richmond, Virginia, native had offers from schools all over the country in several different conferences, which included a late push by LSU.
At 6'1" and 225 pounds, Brooks has room to bulk up, but his elite speed and ability to pursue from sideline to sideline could make him a special inside linebacker at the collegiate level.
