With the early signing period set to beging on Wednesday, Penn State continues to pursue running back Deshun Murrell. The former UCLA commit is a three-star recruit by the 247Sports composite ratings, but a four-star by thier ratings.
Murrell is set to announce his college decision on Friday. He will choose between Penn State and UCLA, and there are positive signs pointing toward the Nittany Lions. 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong and Lions247 editor Sean Fitz have both logged crystal ball predictions in favor of the Nittany Lions.
Penn State has recruited as well as any program in the FBS in recent cycles at the running back position.
