With Nick Cross off to Maryland, Penn State’s 22-man 2019 class is officially official. Despite some weaknesses in the region, the Nittany Lions signed the No. 13 class in the country, making their third consecutive class ranked in the top 15. For 2020 though, the bar will be set higher — both from a quality and quantity perspective.
Quality wise, the region is much deeper in 2020 than it was in 2019. While Pennsylvania is still in a downswing (for what it’s worth, 2021 looks much more promising), the rest of the region is stocked with talent. Maryland specifically is loaded, and it’s shaping up to be the strongest Maryland class this decade.
