From CDT staff reports
The Penn State men’s basketball team added a power forward to its Class of 2017 on Sunday night.
Strath Haven’s John Harrar announced his commitment to the Nittany Lions on Twitter. The 6-foot-8 forward had committed to play football at Army before reversing course and also reportedly had a basketball offer from Connecticut.
“Excited to announce my commitment to Penn State,” he wrote on Twitter.
Harrar was a standout tight end and defensive end, and he earned second-team all-state honors in Class 5A basketball this season. Neither Rivals nor Scout had him rated as a basketball prospect, however.
