Entering Thursday Penn State’s 2017 recruiting class did not have a running back. However, this is no longer the case. On Thursday night, 3-star running back Journey Brown committed to Penn State.
Journey Brown is a native of Meadville, Pennsylvania, and also had offers from Syracuse and Temple. The 5-foot-11 194 pound Brown visited the Nittany Lions twice during the season. This combined with him camping for the staff over the summer led to him coming onto their radar late.
Many people probably recognize the name Journey Brown. This is due to the game he had against DuBois during the 2015 season.
