Today's Penn State football news headlines feature more on the commitment of four-star linebacker recruit Ellis Brooks and how he and the Lions' 2017 class are fueling a rise in star ratings.
Brooks, a 6-2, 230-pound prospect from Richmond (Va.) Benedictine High School, gave his verbal commitment to Penn State on Monday. His recruitment brought the Lions' search for an inside linebacker full circle, as outlined by Fight On State's Mark Brennan, after the decommitment of Dylan Rivers.
Brooks and his family are friends with Nittany Lions great Michael Robinson and his dad, Keith, told Richmond.
