Today's Penn State football news headlines feature a looming decision for four-star defensive tackle recruit Aeneas Hawkins and observations from Wednesday's open practice.
Hawkins is a 6-3, 265-pound prospect from Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. He said Wednesday evening he plans to announce his college decision today at 10 a.m. and is choosing between Penn State and Cincinnati.
The Lions are rolling into Hawkins' announcement with recent commitments from four-star Erie Cathedral Prep offensive lineman Fredrick "Juice" Scruggs and four-star McDonogh School (Md.) defensive tackle P.J. Mustipher. Hawkins could be the third defensive tackle in the class if he chooses Penn State.
