Meet The 2018 Class: Four-Star RB Ricky Slade

Landing the top ranked prospect from Virginia for the first since Christian Hackenberg in 2013, Ricky Slade chose the Nittany Lions over the in-state Virginia Tech Hokies. Slade joins a talented running back group at Penn State, but one that will be tasked with replacing a generational talent in Saquon Barkley.

Highlights

Scouting Report

Other than his size, Slade is a complete running back. If he was 5-foot-11, Slade would be a consensus five-star prospect, and someone who would be pushing for a top 10 ranking overall.
