17 Again

Penn State receives commitment number 17, as they continue to pick up momentum on the recruiting trail.

Earlier today, 4 Star Defensive End C.J. Olaniyan (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-C.J.-Olaniyan-92881) made his decision to play for Nittany Lions next year. Olaniyan is a huge get that adds even more star power to an already booming recruiting class. Our defensive line commitments for next year already include four star commitments in Evan Hailes, Dakota Royer, and Daquan Jones. With the addition of Olaniyan, Penn State could be bolstering one of the best defensive front fours within the next couple of years.

Just when you think that things couldn't get any better for the Nittany Lions on the defensive side of the ball, Penn State picks up another huge commitment. To top it all off, Penn State is still in the running and at the top of the list for top tier defensive line prospects Sharrif Floyd and Dominique Easley. Both of whom which rank in the top ten at their respective positions.

As the season progresses and the stars of this year's recruiting class are looking to enroll by next spring, look for Penn State to pick up a few more commits. What I would look for in the coming weeks are the decisions of offensive linemen Robby Havenstein and linebacker Khairi Fortt. My prediction would be that both of these guys will commit to Penn State, but with college football today, anything is possible.
