Deitrick Pennington narrowed his list of schools to five back in May.
The 6-5/326 defensive tackle from Evangeline Christian in Cordova, TN is rated a four-star in the 247 Composite, while Rivals has him asa three-star. His evaluation at 247 is as follows:
Wide-bodied lineman, big-jointed with a thick lower half and a bulky upper body. Doesn’t look out of shape but will need to work to keep the right weight on. Would benefit from leaning out and converting some body weight on the next level. Extremely coordinated and balanced for a big body.
