Penn State and James Franklin received some positive news this week as they secured the final in-home visit for Top 100 OT Rasheed Walker, according to his 247Sports profile. The 6-foot-6, 300-pound four-star was previously visited by Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente on Tuesday night, and then welcomed Urban Meyer, defensive line coach Larry Johnson SR, and offensive line coach Greg Studrawa from Ohio State last night. Now tonight, James Franklin will have his chance to leave the final impression on Walker before he makes his commitment next Tuesday on National Signing Day.
As mentioned in the Eleven Warriors article, Franklin and Meyer were both trying to be Walker’s final in-home visit, so it’s a big deal that Franklin was able to beat out Meyer in that regard.
