Penn State landed the No. 1 ranked player in the state of Pennsylvania when Joey Porter Jr. announced his commitment to the Nittany Lions on Tuesday.
Porter Jr., the No. 300 ranked prospect in the country, is the son of former Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker Joey Porter.
The elder Porter is currently an assistant coach with the Steelers, and his son is now staying somewhat close to their Wexford, Pennsylvania home. Porter Jr. is a safety prospect who stands at 6-foot-2 and weighs 187 pounds.
Adding Porter Jr. to the Penn State class gives the Nittany Lions seven ESPN 300 commitments in the 2019 class, led by linebacker Brandon Smith, running back Devyn Ford and wide receiver John Dunmore.
