Penn State was able to lure Michigan native KJ Hamler away from other Big Ten schools and add him to the 2017 recruiting class. Hamler enrolled at the school in January and will now get a jumpstart on his collegiate career.
Hamler attended the same high school in Michigan as Penn State great Allen Robinson before transferring to the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL. He missed all of this past season in high school due to a torn ACL, but still showed enough on tape to be a sought after recruiting target.
Due to the injury, Hamler will redshirt his first year, giving him even more time to get accustomed to the Penn State program.
