The Penn State coaching staff has received another letter of intent in the Lasch Building here on National Signing Day. This one belongs to Alexandria (VA) safety Jonathan Sutherland. Sutherland, a four-star recruit, checks in as the 274th best player in the country according to the composite ratings of 247 Sports.
The six-foot,195 pound Sutherland is originally from Canada. However, he played his high school football at Episcopal High School in Virginia. Sutherland chose the Nittany Lions over scholarship offers from Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, and North Carolina, among others.
When Jonathan Sutherland committed to Penn State it came as a bit of a surprise.
