For nearly three years one of the most popular names in the world of Penn State recruiting has been Lamont Wade. The Clairton, Pennsylvania, native is a four-star recruit and one of the best defensive prospects in the country. 247 Sports ranks Wade as the fifth best cornerback, and 50th best overall player, in the country in the 2017 recruiting cycle.
Wade is down to five finalists. Those five schools are Penn State, Pitt, Tennessee, UCLA, and West Virginia. And at 8 PM on Saturday night one of these five coaching staffs will be very happy.
