Sean Spencer and Penn State added a late-bloomer to the “Wild Dogs.”
Joseph Appiah Darkwa, a three-star defensive tackle from Germany, committed to the Nittany Lions on Friday afternoon. Darkwa became the 21st member of Penn State’s top-10 2019 recruiting class. He will sign on Wednesday’s National Signing Day.
Darkwa’s name might not ring a bell, even to the die-hard fan. That’s because he just recently burst onto the scene.
Darkwa, who played in the German Football League for the Dusseldorf Panthers’ U-19 team, had offers from nine schools: Penn State, UCLA, Rutgers, Cincinnati, Colorado, UConn, Georgia Tech, Indiana and Virginia.
