On Friday, the Nittany Lions extended just their fifth in-state offer for 2020 when they offered Westinghouse defensive lineman Dayon Hayes.
Despite being in the 235-250 area, Hayes should be future defensive tackle. He’s already visited campus multiple times so this offer should put the Nittany Lions among his leaders.
Right now Penn State owns just one defensive line commit in the form of defensive tackle Cole Brevard. This leaves the defensive line board pretty wide open at the moment. James Franklin and company would love to add to the defensive line class sooner rather than later, and could lead to dominoes similar to the ones we have witnessed in recent weeks with the offensive line when another defensive lineman hops on board.
