Last October, Chaminade-Madonna Prep running back Thad Franklin decided he didn’t want to leave the state of Florida for college. Therefore, he committed to the University of Miami to become their top running back for the 2021 recruiting class. Although he’s made a verbal commitment to the Hurricanes, the Penn State Nittany Lions aren’t backing down.
This weekend, Florida native Thad Franklin will travel up North to take an unofficial visit to Happy Valley. As Penn State searches for their next pair of running back recruits for years to come, they are trying to sway Franklin away from the ACC.
