Penn State 2018 recruit Chris Bleich an aggressive finisher with enormous frame: Hockensmith's take

Chris Bleich, the 2018 offensive lineman from IMG Academy who just committed to Penn State, is in the early, early stages of of his high school career. As he enters his junior season, he's unrated nationally and competing for attention on a loaded IMG roster that is deep with FBS talent.

Bleich, originally from Wyoming Valley West High School, transferred to IMG Academy in January. He's part of a growing list of top Mid-Atlantic talents to take their talents to Bradenton, Fla., including top 2017 PSU targets Robert Hainsey, Jordan Anthony and Joshua Kaindoh.

IMG churns out four and five-star talent, which Bleich said was part of the school's allure.
