May and June are typically the dullest months in the college football calendar. Spring practice is over and all eyes shift from a focus on development to determine who the best 22 are for opening day. The long slog to the September 1 showdown with the Appalachian State Mountaineers is upon us. Fortunately for Penn Staters, the Nittany Lions closed out the month of May with a flurry of recruiting activity that put James Franklin’s squad back in the news in a positive way.
Last week, Penn State secured verbal commitments from three-star junior college defensive back Jaquan Brisker, four-star all-purpose back Devyn Ford, four-star corner back Marquis Wilson, and four-star defensive back Tyler Rudolph.
