As with the rest of the Big Ten, Penn State has been known to pluck a few prospects from the state of Ohio. The early 90s saw Westerville's Ki-Jana Carter rush for nearly 3,000 yards and 34 touchdowns while playing for Joe Paterno. Union City's Curtis Enis arrived at Happy Valley in 1995 and proceeded to rush for over 3,200 yards while scoring 38 touchdowns.
Since Urban Meyer's arrival, the state's top high school talent has pretty much remained on lockdown, but a few locals have made the journey to Penn State for their college careers. The Nittany Lion roster currently features four players from the state of Ohio, and while none of them have made their marks just yet, they could be some names to watch in the coming years.
